Fantastic, At this point we know we can do a few micro opts to make things a little faster, but a fresh set of eyes examining our code base and running a profiler on it would be very welcome. If you want to chat you can join #jruby on freenode irc or you can also connect with me via google talk. Subyamana Sastry (subbu) is also on irc and can help explain the deeper design if you have questions...
