General warning is using any external libraries that require sharing OS level 
resources (files, sockets, shmem, file locks) should be avoided or very 
strictly tested and controlled.  Additionally, if you *must* use these put them 
into a separate DRb server and make it the single control point for the 
resources.

Also, try to avoid RMagick processing inside rails.  People love their 
file_column, but RMagick is a fat nasty pig that cripples many sites without 
warning.  The optimal setup is use something like BackgrounDRb or a plain DRb 
server and use a batch processing method.

That's the main warnings right now.
