Running in production mode in both cases, using these ab settings:
ab -kc 10 -t 30 http://localhost:8080/foo

Not at all what I expected–I was hoping for this 2x improvement I keep reading about.

I’m hoping that Rails or Ruby or both need some kind of tuning or optimization for 1.9.1; if anyone has any ideas about that, I’d love to hear them.
