[LRUG] Merb

iirc, even with rails, file uploads will not block mongrel process on
long file uploads.

But the problem with rails and big files is when you use
send_data/send_file. In which case you should be using X_SENDFILE
stuff or something like :

https://rubyforge.org/projects/msend-file/

But as merb is thread-safe, it won't have this problem.
