If the app is slow, how "slow" is slow? 2s a page or 10s for a page?

Now you have to look at what is slow. Is it page render? is it the
database?

If its page render you will have to look at caching.
If its database you need to optimize the database. Add indexes and
tune the database. Are you using MySQL? Innodb? did you change the
tablespace after going live? How but is the database in MB?

I have a feeling that your site does not get crazy amount of traffic
and therefore using nginx or Apache or passenger or thin is not going
to make any difference. UNLESS your server is a virtual server with
only 256mb ram and you are swapping because you did not move the max
passenger threads down from the default 6..

my 2cents...

PS if this app is 3+ years old you should at a minimum upgrade rails
and make use of new rails features... 2006 is Rails 1.1.x ...
