Someone else can speak to Rails and whether it actually is threadsafe or not. However, you misunderstand Mongrel's handler for Rails. Take a look at the source code. It's clean and easy to read. The Rails handler has a single Rails application instance, and it has a mutex that it uses to limit request processing within Rails to one at a time. The use of this guard mutex can be disabled in the handler, if you want to use Rails multithreaded, but Zed has a strongly worded warning against doing that in the code.
