On Github there is patch present which is a backport of from the current trunk allowing increase of performance. According to the patch author it gives 8-10% speed up, while there are case where speed up may several times fold like in this case http://alisnic.net/blog/making-your-ruby-fly/ patch description: https://gist.github.com/4136373 please consider adding that patch to the ruby 1.9.3 ebuild preferebly while by bumping its version to the p327 for which the patch is ported
We won't accept such a patch unless it is accepted upstream.
it is accepted upstream. it is already in the 2.0 trunk... this is just a backport
(In reply to comment #2) > it is accepted upstream. it is already in the 2.0 trunk... this is just a > backport Using code from a different major version of ruby… Also it seems to need adaption for every new patchlevel of ruby 1.9 which would be annoying if no such patch were provided in time (c.f. suhosin for php). This is something you should do in an overlay, we won't do it in gx-86.
