Rails, being single threaded, has always been plagued with the problem of long running tasks locking up your server until they're done. Need to notify a dozen users by e-mail when some event occurs in your app? Kiss a mongrel instance good-bye for the thirty or so seconds it takes to send those e-mails. This adversely impacts server response times, making applications seem sluggish even when not serving very many users.
