I switched from Unicorn to Puma for my relatively low-load Heroku-based Rails app and have seen nothing but improvements across the board. Less memory usage, lower response times, overall better performance. It's working very well.

Note: I'm an amateur and I know I'm not nearly optimized across many areas -- the app could be better, I'm not using JRuby (where multi-threaded shines, or so I read), so this is from a pretty novice perspective. But from here, Puma has been great.
