Well, I was initially pretty excited about Mongrel but then I keep hearing talk of running 
Mongrel with lighty/apache... and running Mongrel for a specific app (rather than running 
Mongrel and adding/removing apps). All this, along with rails' single-threaded nature, 
have made me somewhat gloomy about ever seeing a real servlet container for rails.

I do need to spend some more time with Nitro and Camping... maybe they don't have the 
threading issue. But still, it seems that Mongrel has adopted the "copy per app" approach 
of WEBrick rather than the servlet container approach. I suppose someone would need to 
write a servlet API for Ruby in order to do that (not sure if the CGI module fulfills that).
