The framework will reload any models and controllers used (rather than 
using 'require') so any changes made to the code will be seen, but 
without having to restart the interpreter, reparse all the framework and 
library code, or re-establish the database connection. This makes 
"development mode" almost as fast as production FCGI or webrick -c, as 
opposed to developing against CGI or restarting the server on every 
change to the code. This feature can be turned off for the production 
installation proper, to get the maximum speed.
