According to our own benchmarks, it seems to be slightly faster than Mongrel. Overall however, the performance seems to be pretty much the same.

Well, maybe it’s time for people who feel that way to move to technologies e.g. J2EE then ;). Remember, Rails was built with pragmatism in mind, and Passenger was built with the same intent… If anything, we perfectly complement Rails with Passenger, and I really don’t understand what the big fuss is all about, i.e. I never thought that the possibility of bringing Rails to a greater amount of people would actually be considered to be a bad thing. Regardless of that, Passenger simplifies deployment a _great_ deal, so if not for them (i.e. Railz0rs), it’s for your own personal leasure/sanity

Sounds great. I look forward to seeing the usual barrage of benchmarks and comparisons once this kicks off!

Can you provide us with some benchmarks? How does this compare with Litespeed, Mongrel, Ebb, & Thin?

Thank you!
