I noticed very recently that reloading pages has been slowing down in  
my app… now I get nothing from localhost:3000…

I don’t have any mongrels running, my app at this point is extremely  
simple (though probably replete with inefficiencies), and I’m using  
WEBrick as the web server.

help!

you can check your RAILS\_ROOT\logs\development.log for error messages  
and obviously the logging that follows your ruby script\server command.

hard to tell what’s going on but perhaps you have some zombie processes  
(look for ruby in the windows task list or do a ps -ef in linux)

My development\_log when I try to access the website is:

And there is nothing in the terminal window following the script/  
server command.
