 I'm wondering what speed benefits using rails-api gives you over the normal rails stack. Conceptually it makes sense that removing unneeded pieces will help, but most of the default rails middleware is still in place, so I'm wondering if the boost is actually noticeable. 

 Removing those pieces does restrict your ability to use things like active_admin to manage your data, so I'd only go with the slimmer rails-api style project if the improvements are noticeable.
