Just out of curiosity, does anyone here use Nitro? I'm going to switch from Rails to Nitro for one of my own projects. I've heard it runs happily multi-threaded. Anyone noticed any difference in performance? (Or for that matter, with other frameworks that run multi-threaded like Camping and Merb?) To my knowledge, the only apps big enough for scalability to be a serious issue are all in Rails. Also, this thread has answered the question I've wondered lately, namely that MRI can't context switch if one thread is in a C extension like a database adapter?. Will Rubinius go any way to help this, assuming the adapter is re-entrant?
