Hello!

RubyOnRails + FastCGI is only for ready project?  
When I use fastcgi in my project in development period, apache caches  
all my ruby-classes. And I must restart my web-server to see changes  
in my ruby-classes.

Is it normal?  
Can I use fastcgi in development period?

FastCGI is geared for production and it does cache controllers and  
models. I don’t see a benefit  
using it in development, other than gaging performance.

You can usually kill the fcgi process instead of restarting your web  
server, no?
