I was just looking at Tiki which recommended esehttpd in the documentation.
I’ve never heard about it before, but apparently it is a very fast web
server with Ruby intergrated into its core - how cool is that 
The site is in japanese, but there is english documentation in the download.

It only works for Linux (at least only tested on Linux), and achieves
additional speed with realtime Posix extensions available in 2.4.x kernel.

Thanks a lot for the link. I’ve been playing with this web server for
the past few days. This is a fun little web server. Its configuration
has a bit to be desired and I had to hack cgiruby.c to get it to cache
libraries like mod_ruby, but it is a SWIFT little creature.
For personal websites that don’t need the bulkiness of Apache, ESE is
great. And it would be a great centerpiece for a Zope-like product for
Ruby. Just need to get it working on non-Linux platforms.
