learning about the wonders of Ruby GC, 200ms out of 350ms total page time? Sure, why not.

@codinghorror still mega lame that you have to tune. Lets hope the ruby 2.0 gc improvements are a good boost. #future

@codinghorror ya bro, the ruby gc times can be nuts. Luckily though, With some tuning you should be able to drastically improve those times.

@codinghorror If you are using Unicorn, OobGC might help.

@codinghorror should've used perl if you wanted performance. :)

@codinghorror Are you saying 75% GC overhead is a "feature"? :) What is the node.js GC overhead?

@codinghorror are you using jruby? /cc @headius

@codinghorror Have you tried testing it on Ruby 2.0? Should have much better results.
