Bragging about how fast you can serve a request is really meaningless when there's no way to know what's involved in that request. On my personal side projects (also using Rails), I serve requests in a couple milliseconds too. But, there's a vast, vast difference in what those sites do, vs what's involved in running a large-scale e-commerce operation.

- Raphomet 17y agoI'll admit that I don't know enough about this. Got any pointers or links for the intermediate Rails hacker? (I'll check out ab, as mentioned in your post.)
