At first, I thought I'd messed up something in the database too. But running the *exact* same updates and inserts against the production database, through the console, yields normal, fast results. The *only* place I see these 30-40 second updates/inserts is from mongrels that have been under load for a while; I don't see the slowness when running the exact same things from console, or from the old FCGI setup.
What could be different about the doing the database queries in Mongrel that could cause this? I'm not too clear on exactly how Mongrel differs from FCGI, other than being faster and not using FCGI (the protocol). Could it be possible that the database connections are longer lived, or somehow shared between multiple threads, or something like that? I start with the assumption Mongrel does things the right way, and that I've made some mistake in configuring my application, but I'm at a loss as to where to start looking.
