I believe the two things that have been done to combat this "sore spot" for rails (that it sometimes GC's more than once per request [1]) are 1) patch gc.c so that it collects less frequently [i.e. sets the collection frequency to be every 40MB instead of 8). Kind of hard using extensions only :) 2) have rails GC only every X requests (fastcgi does this, I think). It might make a difference in performance. Thoughts?
