Not really, sessions are not really the key element than makes Merb faster than Rails. > What exactly makes Merb more efficient? The fact that it was developed with thread safety in mind. Not a single mutex in the critical path. Most of the critical path was also optimized to shave few ms here and there making a request go through the framework much faster. > How many sessions can be handled by one worker process? It depends on your code and your server. > How can I spawn more than one worker process? Check the merb flags, for instance $ merb -c 3 would start a cluster with 3 workers. > > Is there any configuration/way to load balance requests in Merb? > I'm not sure what you mean there, requests will be balanced between the workers, but if you get more traffic than 1 server can handle, you might want to set a real load balancer in front of your servers. > > Regards, > Ashwin > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
