Support for a "min_instances" option for applications now exists and
is supported in the trunk version of SwitchPipe. It will be released
officially in 1.03 and is to be considered alpha / beta for now.
min_instances allows you to specify a minimum number of instances to
be running of a particular app (in opposition to max_instances!). This
means you can have at least 1 instance running so that initial load
times of your sites / apps does not seem slow, without needing a whole
cluster waiting around.

It has only had moderate testing so far and will be tested more
exhaustively by 1.03, but please do post with any comments or
experiences.

Wow. Using this I'm getting 250 requests second on the front page of a
reasonably nasty Rails-delivered page (it's 30KB when rendered) when
benchmarking. 1 min_instances, 3 max_instances. Give it a try!
