Most Resource-Efficient Way to Deploy Multiple Rails Apps on a Single Server

Question

I have a Virtual Dedicated Server that I use to host small websites that aren't large enough to justify their own dedicated slice. I am a Rails developer and am currently using an Ubuntu/Nginx/Mongrel Cluster/SQLite stack to deploy these applications.

I feel that the memory being consumed by each Mongrel instance is too high. I am wondering what the recommended way to serve these applications is to keep resource usage to a minimum. I have heard that Mongrel is no longer recommended in favor of Passenger. I have continued using Mongrel, though, because I feel that it is more lightweight. This may be a complete misperception on my part, though.

Any ideas?

具有Passenger + Enterprise RoR可能有助于减少内存占用量（并可能提高性能）。
