Wondering if anybody had suggestions for how to speed up 1.8.6 on an old
mac os x ppc. Thoughts?
Thanks.

Not sure if this applies to OS X or not, but there have been some posts recently
showing speed gains when one rebuilds 1.8.x configured with --disable-pthread
(if I recall correctly.)

Thanks! Now if I can just figure out how to check if mine is built with
pthreads enabled...

Before this goes too far, the answer "Use C" would be considered:

A) Helpful
B) Trolling
C) Flame-bait
D) Laughable
E) None of the above

I also believe to remember that optimization options made a significant
difference.

Roger, you are sure that you have exhausted all optimizations of Ruby
code, are you?

Kind regards

Unfortunately it's for a rails app so I am unequivocally (except for
maybe using evented mongrel) stuck with the default app performance.
Thanks for the tips on the optimizations!

I like it!
"Ruby is so slow! I can't believe no one out there has ways to optimize
1.8.6! Terrible!"
Bait thrown.
lol
Thanks.

Helpfully trolling with laughable flamebait?

If you have a Rails app that is taking a long time in Ruby code, then
you obviously have a compute-intensive action. Perhaps you could find
the most expensive part of that action and rewrite it in C using ruby-
inline (http://www.zenspider.com/ZSS/Products/R...). If you
haven't looked into this, and if you really need to write some tight C
code, then you will kiss the feet of Ryan Davis for making it all so
easy.
