[Rails] FastCGI deployment

[Lon Baker]

Well first off, I really need to thank David for the truly amazing gem 
he has crafted in Rails!

Just finished building an application for a client demo in 2 days that 
would have easily taken considerably longer in WebObjects.

The latest learning experience I am encountering is using FastCGI on 
Mac OS X Server 10.3, where I have managed to get everything running. 
But the behaviour I am seeing which may not be a problem is the number 
of Ruby processes grows when performing certain actions.

Specifically I have a Find.find_by_sql request that issues a FULLTEXT 
search. Where I watch the server using top the number of Ruby processes 
slowly grows and they do not seem to disappear.

Has anyone else seen this?

Does anyone have any tips on deploying on Mac OS X with FastCGI?

Thanks in advance for any tips.
