We had Rails Core team members spend lots of time trying to fix our Rails 3.x slowdowns. As you probably know, Thomas is a Rails Core Alumnus and we have lots of personal connections in the Rails community.
Nobody could identify it.
Our sysadmin was a sysadmin for one of the first, biggest, and most reliable Rails app ecosystems. He couldn't trace the Ubuntu issue.
It sounds like you don't have a lot of experience running a business. When you do, you will realize that just throwing money at problems doesn't solve anything.
PS - We have servers at Rackspace. 3 of them. Where do you think a lot of that money went? They're $3k a month. And guess what — they won't manage servers with the configuration we required. Fab.
