I would highly recommend using delayed_job ( http://github.com/tobi/delayed_job/tree/master). We've recently integrated this into the BioCatalogue (http://www.biocatalogue.org) to great effect. This is what GitHub use I believe (http://github.com/blog/197-the-new-queue ).
Useful blog post that walks you through setting up delayed_job - http://www.magnionlabs.com/2009/2/28/background-job-processing-in-rails-with-delayed_job Useful FAQ: http://wiki.github.com/tobi/delayed_job Examples: http://github.com/igal/rubyqueues/tree/master/delayed_job_eg/ Comparisons: http://github.com/igal/rubyqueues/raw/802998678c012ed17b27324a41a4cd42a377a678/comparison.html Hope that helps.
