Sorry, I just posted numbers to show the difference between dev mode and production mode. I guess what I don't understand is: if you're running a site in development, isn't 250 req/s enough? And if you're running in production, do you need to reload the template on each request? Unless you're just using this as an example indicative of the fact that ruby/rails could surely stand to be faster, in which case I completely agree.
