Hi, 3 developers of FINN.no (http://www.finn.no/) have created a new project named Celerity (http://celerity.rubyforge.org/), that wraps HTMLUnit in a Watir compatible API to use in JRuby. The motivation of the project was the performance problems they had running their Watir test suite.
They have now published some benchmarks: http://celerity.rubyforge.org/benchmarks.html the time reduction is really impressive: it varies between 69% and 99,8%! I imagine that the overhead of having WebTest around HtmlUnit is not more significant than the one of JRuby and therefore that similar speed differences could be messed between WebTest and Watir. Now it would be interesting to see how fast other tools are, like for instance Selenium. My first guess is that it is even slower than Watir when running in IE.
