I'm running my Rails application through thin
on Windows OS
.
thin start -e production
Since the number of users grew, now around 10 people using the app simultaneously, there are times when a same page takes a while longer to load.
I'm quite sure that it has to do with the server since the slow down happens on pages that normally loads fast.
The following document describes about how to deploy rails application in windows. I haven't done this personally but, believe the latest versions should allow that. Please check the below link to see how it can be done
