Yes! I think so ....

Merb is a new super fast, multi threaded, Ruby based MVC Framework
based on Mongrel and Embedded Ruby. Developer of merb is Ezra
Zygmuntowicz of engine yard fame.The latest release of merb is based
on rack which is common interface between various web servers and ruby
frameworks. Being multi threaded means it relies on thread per request
model so you don't need to run pack of mongrels to get acceptable
output. Rails is not multi threaded as dispatch code has uses mutex
when serving a request.

Merb does not force developers to stick to one thing unlike Rails. The
merb allows developers to choose from three different ORM's i.e.
Active Record, Data mapper and Sequel.
