@Max -- I'll take the 2-4x faster! I agree that tackling Ruby 1.9 may overwhelm them with customer support issues (why don't my gems work!), but with the performance gain and considering the need for Ruby to be faster, it's inevitable that Ruby 1.9 will rule within the next year or so.
@Carl -- Well said. Haven't tried RPM yet, but have been using fiveruns plugin (too little info--good info on SQL queries but none on Ruby method calls), and just started with ruby-prof (way, way too much info). My problem does not seem to be in my queries--they seem to be in view rendering, callbacks and other ruby method calls.
