Hi Folks, I've been getting reports of people with serious stability problems in Mongrel. These problems go away instantly when they remove ruby-sendfile.
If your mongrel starts up saying that you have "sendfile installed" and that it is using it then **you are wrong**. Remove the gem and don't use it. I'll be investigating why it doesn't really work as advertised, and really it's not worth the hassle for just a 20% perf boost on static files (and ONLY static files, no other requests at all). Really, if you need fast static files use a real web server instead. Thanks! P.S. Almost through my e-mail queue. Man. -- Zed A.
