On a dedicated server at Dreamhost when I restart the application
(currently with five processes) the processes sit at the top of top()
for about 30 - 45 seconds and requests during that time return a generic 500
error from apache.  I'm not using any Loader type of code, either, so
the db is not hit during this time.
