It is explained in the section "A Case Study" starting on page 38. Bruce Tate and Justin Gehtland (Java experts, authors, etc.) write a Java webapp in 4 months that took even longer in .NET. They use Spring/Hibernate/WebWork. Then Justin rewrites it in Rails in 4 nights. The application runs even faster. In the book I see no comment about LOCs, but following those hints I could finally get to the original post by Justin http://blog.thinkrelevance.com/2005/4/4/some-numbers-at-last that has some metrics.
