Hi I'll have a shot ;)

Mongrel might be internally multi threaded, but it only serves one request at any given moment. So all your web users will have to be serialized through this rather small .. tube. By setting up load balancing via pound to a few mongrels, you can take better advantage of your CPU, running things in parallel. Large-scale rails applications are deployed this way, mostly on more than one machine even to distribute the load across many CPU's and disks.
