We've also updated these boxes to VMWare ESXi and gained quite a bit of performance back at the VM level with IO. As much as I like mongrel/thin, it's a pain in the ass to monitor. Apache has alot of overhead and is slow. Currently, nginx with Passenger is the best setup for fast rack based apps. CentOS 5.1 was out, but we had issues getting it installed.

We are currently running centos 5.4. with gems installed. We are seeing a performance loss with the setup. Is there a reason why you went with centos 4.6? We did a load test on the vm with only 200 persistant connections and it failed with a load avg of 12. Do you have any tips on how to improve the vm? Thanks in Advance!

UPDATE: I'm now running thin on a closed beta for www.just1word.com. We switched over from Mongrel just today and we're very pleased about the results. I'm sure I'll have more to come on this. @Marc — Thanks for the review and the great work!

I'm glad you like my project, specially the codenames ;) I agree that Thin is just a minor evolution from mongrel for deployment, but it's the best thing possible w/ the current tools. I hope too that Rubinius changes the game for something better. Hey Greg,
