Hi, I've recently been working on a social networking site developed in Rails. Even though it wasn't very well developed (I only had to do some minor modifications and most of the code was written back in 2006), I noticed it was a bit on the slow side. Even in production mode.
Now apart from the fact that it wasn't a lightweight application (partly due to a lack of optimization in some of the code), it also had to do with a slow response time from the server and I've noticed that with a lot of other Rails websites as well. Even with my own apps (though I work with most of them only in development mode, so that could also explain why). I know Rails is thought to be slow. I also know this is due to the fact that most people consider Ruby to be slow. However, if I'd want to make sure my apps run as fast as possible (apart from optimizing the code), what would be the things to consider? We're already running Apache with mod_rails (Passenger) and Ruby Enterprise Edition after I looked into it a few months ago. But are there any ways to speed it up even more? The server I was talking about earlier was running nginx with Passenger and REE. Is there more I can do to ensure I at least get my apps running as fast as possible? (even though it might never be as fast as PHP was for me) Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
