It stands up quite well under heavy load apparently (~425 rp/s on `ab -c 100 -n 10000`), but I still want to see how much performance I can squeeze out before I implement more features. I'm anxious to see some numbers with Thin or Evented Mongrel with this new adapter. :) I'll be releasing a new gem in a few days when I can get all the HTTP stuff implemented (cookies and sessions). --Jeremy On Jan 5, 2008 11:20 AM, Jeremy McAnally wrote: > Vintage is a very small web framework based on the original idea of > Merb: Mongrel serving up ERb (Embedded Ruby) templates.
