Also, is there any documentation or tutorials out there on the best way to use something like ruby-prof to tune a rails app? I just kind of have been including profiler code to tune various sections and what not that I knew were slower. Most of my applications aren't incredibly complex so I know that the main points with them are to watch for bad SQL queries and not to instantiate too many objects from these queries. But, when I'm working on a really complex web app, should I launch mongrel with ruby-prof and kind of test the whole thing or should I keep working on tuning specific parts?
In short, all my tuning abilities have come from just messing around and using my own logic (for better or worse) as to how I should go about tuning. Are there any resources for me to better improve my ability at tuning apps?
