Hello rails-talk,
A colleague of me recently did some benchmarking on different ways to server Rails (Lighttpd + FCgi, Lighttpd+Thin, Nginx+Ebb, and so on) to find the best solution for our shared hosting. He did a writeup about it on Hosting nodig? Je website altijd veilig online » Combell België .
Maybe this is interesting for some of you. If this is not the place to
inform about this, I'm sorry 
Regards, Jan De Poorter
