I have seen this claim that Ruby 1.9 is somehow faster than Ruby 1.8 repeated over and over again, but I have *never* seen any credible evidence for that, neither in my own benchmarks nor in Antonio Cangiano's (or any other, for that matter). Does anyone have any evidence that this is actually the case? I would be very interested in that. jwm
