Yep, web services are generally much slower than SQL calls. There a lot more work to do. Think about something like the Music store built into iTunes that uses web services heavily. It's not exactly stellar performance. Who knows. Things like the work going into Rails 2.3 with RACK and METAL may provide some opportunity to optimize ActiveResource, but I doubt we'll ever see comparable performance between ActiveRecord (or other ORMs) and ActiveResource. Improvements to ActiveResource will likely go hand-in-hand with improvements to ActiveRecord so the gap will remain. Can you define "huge?" Do you have any benchmarks. That might help people here know whether it's really a problem or just basically "normal." -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
