LiteSpeed RubyRunner is an add-on to Ruby LiteSpeed API which allows running plain Ruby CGI in a persistent interpreter without the cost of starting a new ruby process for each CGI script. However, RubyRunner is not as fast as plain LSAPI script because Ruby interpreter has to do extra work to shield the run-time environment for each CGI script execution. RubyRunner is for running plain ruby CGI script unchanged. For Rails application, Ruby LSAPI is preferred. | LiteSpeed RubyRunner is an add-on to Ruby LiteSpeed API which allows running plain Ruby CGI in a persistent interpreter without the cost of starting a new ruby process for each CGI script.
