[rt-users] mod_perl vs fastcgi, which performs best, which is more scalable?

I'm not sure how big our instance will get, but I was concerned about my 
colleagues issues with the slow load times.  They may (in fact probably 
are) be due to his particular hardware setup, but I just wanted to do 
some fact finding so I could have optimal setup from the get-go, instead 
of finding out 6 months from now that I need to switch to mod_perl to 
keep the performance level up. I don't mind tuning things to get things 
running optimally (in fact I enjoy it!)...just wondering what other RT 
users (that have large dbs) experiences are like.

P.S.  RT is great :-)
