Is a dragonfly gem good solution for heavy loaded project

Is dragonfly gem good solution for heavy load project ? ( massive social application like Facebook for example)

Because I think it's good solution for small - medium sized projects but I really don't like the idea that the image is rendered on the fly (I know that there is a cashing option but still) I'm concert it might make huge difference if you using it on such a big web application

and also What gem to process images do you think would be best for such large project would best solution and why ? (speed is the main issue)

thx for answers

I don't know dragonfly, but since you're looking for a scalable solution, you should have a look at Delayed Paperclip based on Paperclip and DelayedJob (or Resque).

Picture process will be handled as background job which won't slow down the app and let the user wait in front of his screen.
