Redmine slow startup

redmineruby-on-rails

We are running Redmine 1.0 on Apache/2.2.3 with Passenger and ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.5. The hardware is a 512MB Linode VPS. We are experiencing a 5-6 second delay when accessing Redmine for the first time in a period. After we have accessed it, the pages load very fast. Is this a misconfiguration or expected behavior? Anything we can do to make our developers a little happier?

One way to keep an application instance up for a longer time is to modify:

PassengerPoolIdleTime

See Phusion Passenger users guide for more info on this.

So far I have good experience setting it to 3600.
