So, I realize that all answers point to offloading to backgroundrb -- but...
1) RMagick isn't being used.... or loaded into the mongrel memory space -- using mini_magick. 2) These images are being served from the cache -- at this point there isn't any mini_magick (or RMagick!) being excecuted -- just files served from the rails cache. Is the recommendation still to use backgroundrb? Seems that serving a static file from the cache shouldn't be a time intensive op. happy to be informed, Clint On 11/14/06, Vishnu Gopal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A quick question (since answers to all such threads is to offload > tasks to backgroundrb): If I set load_rails to true in backgroundrb > configuration, does that hurt things?
