I believe this is non-blocking on Ruby threads as it uses the native ruby libraries for its IO. To do this you have to do: require 'active_record/vendor/mysql' require 'activerecord' to stop activerecord loading the C-extension-based mysql gem. This isn't ideal though, the native ruby implementation is a fair bit slower and doesn't seem to be recommended for production use. It's worked ok for us although haven't really tested it under high load yet. Sergio,
