I am trying to do an ajax page that is going to have multiple ajax  
requests going on. The issue is that when the first request gets  
initiated I have other requests going on for some DB updates and they  
do not complete out until the main request gets completed. I am  
running mongrel on a dev env.

That’s the way rails works (for now). It’s single threaded, so only  
one request per mongrel.
