I've been evaluating a few of the asynchronous Ruby/Rails processing
systems over the last two weeks. Specifically I've tested ap4r, sparrow,
DelayedJob, BackrounDRb and Beanstalk / Async Observer.

If people are interested in this area, I'd be up for talking about the
benefits and issues with each, and doing some demos, but it would be
longer than 5 minutes.
