It occurs to me that perhaps I should be configuring my Mongrel to just 
run without mod_ruby, if possible.  I don't need public internet speeds, 
and presumably with an old fashion load-all-every-page configuration, I 
would by default get $SAFE = 0 anyway.  Anyone know if Mongrel even does 
this?  Obviously webrick does.  Perhaps I should just run my production 
in webrick...?
