Memory requirements of FCGI process versus mongrel server

Rails Deployment
1

I think running multiple fcgi processes require less memory and cpu
resources than equal number of mongrel servers, then what is reason of
mongrel being platform of choice? And is there any work in progress to
make rails thread safe?

Mongrel is the platform of choice because Apache fcgi is rather buggy.
I’ve
had good luck with fcgi and lighttpd, but there is a lot of value in the
Rails community in having a easy, standard way of deploying
applications,
and that standard deployment has to run well on apache. Thus, mongrel
has
become that standard.
