That's great, Charles. What about the memory aspect of the compiler? I know that it is still early in the construction, but can you give some idea as to whether a compiled JRuby app will be heavier or lighter than a regular interpreted JRuby app?

I've also successfully been able to compile the entire standard library and run IRB and RubyGems entirely off compiled scripts (i.e. I deleted all the .rb files). OptN doesn't compile and never will; we will just wrap script execution with the appropriate logic. I'll monkey with that later; nobody uses -n that I know of. RubyGems seemed to start up quite a bit slower than with the interpreter, so I'll do some investigation on that. And there's scads of optimizations left to do in the compiler and in the load sequence. But any work after this will be bug fixing and optimization. The Compiler Is Complete.
