I'm running Rails using Passenger, which in my experience has been a huge plus from mongrel, but still not as fast as my MVC PHP apps (we use Zend and CodeIgniter). From my experience, you will definitely loose some of the productivity gains in extra time spent performance tuning. Then again that may not be a bad thing since it kind of forces you to think about optimization from the start.
