Rails makes me cry when I look at the SQL calls. I mean, it's very easy to get a working application, but then you wonder why it's slow, and it's because it's doing 100 db calls for a 100 item list. Oy.

Given that, I did write a whole website in it, and it has actual users who aren't me. And I haven't touched it in 6 months and it's still working, so not bad.

So nowadays, what's the best way to do the web side of RoR, on a shared host?

I wrote an app about a year ago that used dispatch.fcgi, and it was stable and I haven't touched it in a year, but Dreamhost said "go dedicated or shut it off" (grrr), so I now I am moving to a diff host and have to think about it again.

Really not looking forward to this.

A quick follow-up: it was really quite easy to get my app running on mongrel instead of FCGI. Biggest problem I had was that my new host didn't have the same version of MySql libraries as the old one (or what I had on my dev box).
