yea i do - some obvious things: 1. shared hosting wont work - get a rimu slice at $30 to start, work your way to a quad if necessary. http://rimuhosting.com/ 2. Use RAWK http://rubyforge.org/scm/?group_id=2517 for log analysis - good way to analyze real world performance.. 3. Use a mongrel cluster - mongrel is single threaded [technically rails is] so you have to instantiated multiple instances of it and use a reverse proxy such as nginx or apache. Lots of documentatino on this - Jordan wrote an article abt it: http://www.jordanfowler.com/post/8-Ruby_on_Rails_Stack_Part_1
