Things may have changed, but AFAIK, passenger does go to sleep after a period of no http activity on your site. What I ususally do is create a cron job that runs every 5 minutes and just hits the web server, something like:
wget http://localhost or whatever. This ensures that passenger keeps ruby loaded in memory and the app is no longer sluggish on that first hit.
