This guy is benchmarking an erlang framework against rails and getting  
the wrong answer 🙂

[http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2007/12/09/erlyweb-vs-ruby-on-rails-ec2-performance-showdown/](http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2007/12/09/erlyweb-vs-ruby-on-rails-ec2-performance-showdown/)

Maybe one of you more advanced mongrel/cache configuration wizards can  
help rails look better in his benchmark? He’s currently showing  
ErlyWeb to be roughly 6 times faster. Surely we can goose rails up a  
little bit?

I`m a erlang devel. The erlang language is really very fast, modular and we can change a piece of code on execution... I don`t like benckmarks! But  
i  
will take a look to it! I simple use what is better for what i`m trying  
to  
do 😉
