It's hard to guage when you are sharing machine cycles with a heavily loaded PHP app, but, depending on what those queries really do, 20 r/s should be trivial to get with modest hardware and a tiny number of mongrels (just a single mongrel is likely practical for a load that low). > Sounds very interesting - I'm pretty new to all this but this seems > to be one area where FastCGI (and I presume SCGI) has significant > advantage over the mongrel cluster approach.

I'm already late on when I wanted to release it, but realistically, it's probably another month or so away.
