Does sound to me like this would be a problem - it's entirely possible
to set something like this up during app startup.
The only issue you might have is that (unless you go down the jruby
world) with ruby you'd have multiple rails application processes (MRI
never runs more than one thread at once), and so each one would have a
copy of this thesaurus, you might end up using a lot of memory
