Improve Rails Performance up to 5x
Posted by Chris Blackburn
Nimble Method blog: shows how to monkey patch Ruby on Rails code for a 5x increase in performance.
I agree that Rails is slower than some other scripting languages/frameworks. I don't think it is as slow as many people pretend. It scales well if you know what you are doing. I plan to post a series of articles on doing just that in the near future.
For speedups now see Nimble Method's techniques for increasing performance.
