IIRC, ruby-lang.org runs Apache 2.0.x with mod_fcgid, quite happily on a pretty vanilla box. In the past, I've had memory-leak and zombie-process issues with FCGI (both lighttpd and Apache). Your experience may vary. I currently prefer proxy/balancing/Mongrel, but I also like Litespeed for its ease of use and nice admin interface. LSAPI performs very well in comparison to FCGI.

I recently got my rails app to serve with a mongrel cluster with a

used to run on rails-Apache-FCGI straight and I really can't tell the
difference performance-wise. Granted, the point of a cluster and
balancer is for heavy loads not just one request, but there's a bit
diminishing returns going on with low traffic websites (< 5K page
views/week). Has any of you done any actual performance analysis on
rails-mongrel cluster vs rails-apache-fcgi? Just curious.

I'm not aware of any official performance testing for a rails-mongrel cluster vs rails-apache-fcgi.
