Evan and I were talking a while ago about changing RubyGems to memoize/reuse Gem::Version, Gem::Dependency, and Gem::Requirement. The burndown I did on them for 1.3.4 made them immutable, so it shouldn't be a huge effort. Interested in poking at that with us? ~ j. _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
