Acts_as_ferret should not be a long running process. The reason to use
it is because it executes much faster, and uses fewer system
resources, that running a similar sql querry. You can remove ferret
from lovd, but  I don't think this is a good reason to do it.

I just double checked the README and I didn't see any mention of
monit. Can you tell me what you're after here? Monit is a process
monitoring server. If you are on dreamhost, you are probably running
Lovd behind apache and phusion. If this is the case, monit is not
required.
