Thanks. I was afraid to hear something like this.

Being a PHP developer myself it's really hard to believe that resource consumption is obviously treaded with so little priority in the rails/ruby world.

And some attitudes here like "who cares? memory/cpu is cheap nowadays" are in my opinion part of the problem. I'd say, well written software should use as little resources as possible. Probably a habit that comes from my early days on a C64 back in the 80s.

It's about priorities. IMO if using as little resources as possible is priority number 1, then something is amiss.
