Rails Metal looks pretty darn awesome. It allows you to specify specific URI paths which will bypass the normal Rails stack, shaving precious milliseconds off your responses and not making the Baby Jesus cry.
As a byproduct with a simple config item, you can start using Rack::Cache which is a very good HTTP cache that will normally give you enough benefits until your traffic really takes off.
Jesse Newland has an even better overview of Metal including an example of using Sinatra with it.
