Subject: Switching from PHP to Ruby - Comments Please

Hi:

Well, I'm about ready to make the switch to a Ruby based
website. My plans are to use FreeBSD, Apache 1.3, MySQL
and Ruby in either a mod_ruby/eruby or FastCGI/FCGI environment.

But even though I am ready to take the plunge, and somewhat
believe that any performance hit will be ok, I would like
a little reassurance. 

Can someone comment on whether:
 1) A Ruby based website is easier to implement than say PHP.
 2) A Ruby based website does not have significant performance challenges.
 3) Session management can be done as implicitly with or without 
    cookies as PHP4.

I haven't done any web ruby work, so I apologize if my
questions appear uninformed.
