I'm moving an app that gets only 30 to 50 visitors a day to a
RailsPlayground VPS running Passenger. After all the listeners
(listener?) die, the startup time is more than 30 seconds,
unacceptable for a site that some pay a fee for access to data. The
techs have not explained why it is so large, I see mentions on the
web of 'a few seconds' delay. It has adequate memory (512MB), at
least for putting up the home page.
This page
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/853532/slow-initial-server-startup-when-using-phusion-passenger-and-rails
indicates that the 'smart' spawn method can help, but is incompatible
with RMagick, which my app uses. I'm looking into setting the
PassengerPoolIdleTime way up, any down side to that?
I could set up a tickler elsewhere to hit the site regularly, but
that's a kludge. RailsPlayground suggests I should just move to
Mongrel. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Scott
