Good Rails app for benchmarking?
Does anyone know a good Ruby on Rails app that I can use for benchmarking Passenger (mod_rails)? I don’t have any apps that I’m allowed to use for this purpose. Mephisto and Typo are out because they both use page caching, which would make the benchmark pointless.

Try http://github.com/sudara/alonetone/tree/master
I haven’t seen the code, but it’s a very real life application - http://alonetone.com

What about Lovd By Less?
I don’t think they use caching.

I’ve got an open-source app that doesn’t do any caching at this time:

I have two suggestions : tracks and beast. Both are well-known rails apps, with an open-source licence.

I would also recommend “Lovd By Less”

I know the JRuby guys have a standard Rails application, Petstore, that they use to judge their performance running Rails.

You could also check redmine. I don’t really know if they cache things though…

You can turn off page caching in Mephisto. See here: http://groups.google.com/group/MephistoBlog/browse_thread/thread/0dc4c20d6968287e
