Backgroundrb not detaching

I have a loop:

Dir.new("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/vehicles/uploaded/ #{@vehicle.id}").each do |image|       if image =~ /.*\.jpg$/i         @vehicle_image = VehicleImage.new()         @vehicle.vehicle_images << @vehicle_image         File.cp("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/vehicles/uploaded/ #{@vehicle.id}/#{image}", "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/vehicles/ original/#{@vehicle_image.id}.jpg")         MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :resizeimage_worker, :args => {:id => @vehicle_image.id, :basepath => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/ vehicles/"})       end     end

It appears to be waiting for MiddleMan.new_worker to return before continuing to the next iteration. Im sure I must be doing something wrong here - as this would defeat the whole point of backgroundrb?

Any thoughts?

Kind Regards,

Matt Williams

Thank you kindly for the quick reply.

It turns out I spawning new workers for each image, each of which consumed crazy amounts of resources and gave the illusion of blocking as the system was running so slow
