Well, they're about to put a Ruby based site into production so you've
got nothing to worry about!

The only stats that matter are yours:

1. How long does it take to compose a page? The second time.

2. How much can you cache? (Squid on the front, TT caching etc. etc.)

3. How can you scale vertically/horizontally?

4. What web server style are you using? (mod_perl, FCGI etc)

I'm more than happy to take this off line and help. It's what I do,
measuring and sprucing up web server performance :-)
