i wonder what is a ballpark number that Rails can support for number of  
hits per second, if we are hosting RoR on

1. dreamhost or netfirms
2. as a separate virtual server
3. as a standalone machine

maybe even 1 hit per second can be ok if that means

86400 page view can be served per day… if the expected page view is  
how 300 per day. thanks.
