Based on this article [http://blog.saush.com/?p=208](http://blog.saush.com/?p=208) I have created a  
simple speed test application to see how JRuby behaves under JAVA  
server. I created one controller with simple method that provides actual  
time for view. View is RHTML with simple code for publishing the time  
provided by controller.

Then a packed the application into WAR(described in article) and  
published under JBoss 4.0.5 (on WinXP, 1GB RAM, Centrino Duo 1.8GHz) and  
latest JRuby 1.0 . Checking using a browser I can see, the application  
is running fine. Then I used ApacheBench to stress the application.

Results seems to be great.  
For

### ab -n 1000 -c 20 [http://localhost/jrails/company/index](http://localhost/jrails/company/index)

… I can get up to 500req/sec . Its unbelievable for me. It leads me to  
think if there is any bug/problem I cant see. Can someone help to  
understand or do you have some results to compare?

You are not hitting a valid page or its returning an error or  
redirect, that is why its so fast, See how 981 are non 2xx responses?  
This means that they either failed or just did a redirect.
