Mongrel is threaded. It will create a new thread for each connection. However, Rails does bad, unfriendly things when one tries to run multiple threads of it at the same time. So the Mongrel handler for Rails synchronizes Rails calls so that only one runs at a time. Thus, to handle simultaneous Rails requests with Mongrel one needs more than one Mongrel process.
