Hi, Thanks Zed - this is very interesting. One item in particular caught my eye: Does anyone on this list have any comments or validation that Rails 1.2.1 is 2-4 times as slow as Rails 1.1.6? Topfunky provided a link that purports what looks like really horrible performance and memory characteristics for Rails 1.2.1, even v. 1.1.6:
http://www.alrond.com/en/2007/jan/25/performance-test-of-6-leading-frameworks/ Did Rails 1.2.2 fix anything in this regard? (I didn't see any mention of performance improvements in the dev notes). There were some nice feature upgrades in 1.2.1 that I'm using, but it would be great to know that performance is now a real issue (and rolling back would fix it). Any information?
