Sorry, for the re-post, but I'm new to the mailing list and wanted to bring back up and old topic I saw in the archives.
http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/mongrel-users/2008-February/004991.html I think a patch to delay garbage collection and run it later is pretty important for high performance web applications. I do understand the trade-offs of having explicit vs. implicit garbage collection running, and would much prefer to off-load my garbage collection until later point (when users are not waiting for a request). I agree from the previous points that this could very well be rails-specific, but isn't this a feature that would benefit all of the frameworks that use mongrel? This could be easily added as a configuration option to run after N number of requests or let the GC behave as normal and run when needed, the default of course, allowing the GC when it deems necessary. Adding the collection would be explicit after processing a request, but before listening to any new requests. - scott
