I'm currently embedding Ruby into nginx (www.nginx.net). It's not yet done as I 
started yesterday and as I'm doing it for fun.... A minimal worker process has 
~2MB at the moment. I think it's impossible to reduce this any more.

My initial benchmarks (which doesn't say anything) showed it to be at least 
2-times as fast as mongrel.
