Any time you're serving up gzipped static pages instead of loading any language runtime, JVM or not, you're going to see huge speedups.
- exabrial 14y agoMy apologies for "implying" that. I facepalmed when I saw, "slow" and "ruby/rails". So I digressed into a rant about the lack of a simple blog engine for Java, which would likely run much faster than a Rails solution. I'm fully aware his solution is to just pushed static files, and I even bet he's having Apache do linux sendfile, which would pretty much idle the CPU. Better?
