Rails Carrierwave freezes app when uploading -- Will it do the same in Production

Question

I'm not sure if this question suits SO but I've been testing out Carrierwave & tweaking it a little. I've noticed that when uploading a file to s3 using fog (this are small files, by the way..), my Rails app comes to a 'stand still' until the upload finishes processing.

I'm going to move all the processing to the background later on but this has me wondering:

Is it only like this in development?

Any overall suggestions?

Please see Best Ruby on Rails Architecture for Image Heavy App, et al. My answer there is specifically about Heroku, but Heroku's merely a worst-case-scenario due to their many-small-servers architecture.

I have similar issues when using the default webrick, but when uploading in production with apache and passenger, I do not have these issues. You might try switching to thin in your development environment to see if that yields better results.
