We implement preload_all, which loops over app/{models,controllers}/ and requires everything. This method is generally called from config.ru, and happens in the unicorn master before it forks off workers.
Thanks for that link (and for submitting it!). I've done something similar in deploy scripts, to warm up a fresh instance before bringing it into rotation - even better having it able to be baked into rack like that.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check this out.
