There is an interesting presentation about really large Web-applications and Ruby: http://jxh.bingodisk.com/bingo/public/presentations/JHoffmanRailsConf-Berlin-Sept2007.pdf

Well if there is I license it will be BSD or something. But from what I can tell there is no much interest here plus I am looking at MiniD again. It seems it is quite fast and the reason I thought it was slow was just its writef function. I will run some more tests in real apps and if MiniD turns more efficient I may end up using it. Although my script is almost finished, MiniD is fully finished which makes it the easier way :)
