Subject: mongrel vs fastCGI+lighty

hiya -

we are building a pure ruby app (not rails) and wondered what people's
comments are on different ways to deploy this.

I've heard mongrel categorized as a kind of better webbrick, ie just a
nicer dev time quick'n'dirty webserver. is it usable for a
high-performance production environment?

in terms of lighty/fastCGI, this seems to be working well for us; at
least a lot better than apache w/ fcgi. it also gives us a basic
webserver for files etc. we did have to spend some time getting a
framework running for this tho.

so i was wondering if there is any advantage to using mongrel for
non-Rails apps?
esp if we dont really care about running on windows.

any insight appreciate to compare apples with oranges.

tx,
