What kind of performance do we think is more important to focus on at this point in JRuby development? Should we find artificial benchmarks and optimize any bottlenecks here, or run more "real world" type tests from things like running a simple rails app? An example is something like bug 1660 which is an artificial benchmark of the Time.at method. It's true that this is slower in JRuby than MRI, but how often is someone going to call Time.at hundreds of millions of times right in a row. But maybe small things like this are the only real bottlenecks left.
Just wondering what kind of focus we should have. Joe
