Subject: Re: Scalablity question (Stand-alone server)

Scalability on one comp is all about caching.

Asp.Net should whoop RoR's ass in terms of performance if you do the right 
things with it.

This however might be a bit harder then it sounds :)

Can you get Asp.Net to be as quick as RoR absolutely !!!
Can it be as productive in creating websites, sure.
( when used with things like code generation and a good IDE )
