Actually, JRuby may be faster than C Ruby.  Not sure if that's true for 
all possible code, but so far I've not noticed any issues.  And since I 
can use any Java lib out there, I've saved myself all sort sorts of work 
  and headaches by avoiding incomplete or non-existent Ruby libs for 
some tasks.

My guess is speed of the underlying mechanisms will not be your problem.
