I’ve been reading a bit about litespeed, and I would like to get a feel  
for how many people use it, and what they think about it.

Thanks,

Also, what’s the most stable, best performance way to run a rails  
application on it?

Ruby LiteSpeed API (Ruby LSAPI)  
LiteSpeed RubyRunner (Run CGI in persistent interpreter like mod\_perl  
to perl)  
FastCGI  
Mongrel  
CGI

Use their LSAPI as they provide support for it and the configuration is  
simpler.
