wild guessing, i think rails is single threaded and if you make a connection persistent you will eat all the resources in no time. I believe passenger loads a rails app per connection but as soon as the client it served the the app gets unloaded, but if the connection is permanent i think the app would never unload.
so maybe in rails 3 you could have a pool of activerecord instances and the rest of rails dynamically been loaded by passenger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
