my rail applications are currently on lighttpd, how do i know when i  
should step it up to a mongrel cluster?

also noob question here: in the debug window, for every action executed  
you see 37 requests per second or something like that. does that mean  
that the particular action can be called 37 times per second? what  
happens if it is called more than that per second from many different  
users?
