This is the biggest problem with performance in any of the Ruby web  
app frameworks.  No matter how fast I make Mongrel, at some point  
it's gotta run Rails/Camping/Nitro and then things just crawl.  The  
advantage of Mongrel is it will at least remove most overhead, and  
I'm shooting to have some wicked dynamic caching in there, so it  
should be able to help with the performance problems.
