I have finished converting my live apps to Rails 3.
I am using Ruby Enterprise 1.8.7 and Passenger 2.2.15
I go from 5.31 trans/sec to 3.05 trans/sec per AWS EC2 instance.
$ siege -c 5 -t 1M http://localhost

This is my passenger settings
PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-1.8.7/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.15
PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-1.8.7/bin/ruby
PassengerMaxPoolSize 6
PassengerUseGlobalQueue on
PassengerHighPerformance on
I removed Passenger from the equation, and let this be script/server -e
production (Rails 2.3.5) vs. rails server -e production (Rails 3).
The difference is even greater.
BTW. I am on Ubuntu 10.4.

But in the other direction. Look at your figures again: you’re getting
1.82 trans/sec with 2.3.5 and 5.17 trans/sec with 3.

I seriously apologize: I mislabeled my second results.
Rails 2.3.5 is much faster than Rails 3
One other difference is that Rails 2.3.5 is running on Ruby Enterprise
1.8.6 and Rails 3 is running on Ruby Enterprise 1.8.7 both on Ubuntu.

The problem could be with ActiveRecord performance.
Rails 2.3.5
puts Benchmark.measure{5000.times{User.find :first, :conditions => [“id
= ?”, (rand * 1000 + 1).to_i]}}
1.500000 0.100000 1.600000 ( 2.371361)
Rails 3.0
puts Benchmark.measure{5000.times{User.find :first, :conditions => [“id
= ?”, (rand * 1000 + 1).to_i]}}
8.160000 0.160000 8.320000 ( 15.330955)
Is this a known problem?
Everything else aside, isn’t going from 5.31 to 3.05 trans/sec 43%
slower?

I can also reproduce this problem on my Macbook Pro using Snow Leopard
10.6.4
Rails 2.3.5
puts Benchmark.measure{5000.times{User.find :first, :conditions => [“id
= ?”, (rand * 1000 + 1).to_i]}}
2.460000 0.440000 2.900000 ( 20.093052)
Rails 3.0
puts Benchmark.measure{5000.times{User.find :first, :conditions => [“id
= ?”, (rand * 1000 + 1).to_i]}}
9.100000 0.810000 9.910000 ( 28.481634)
