The Ruby community has gotten very serious about speed in the last year or so. This bodes well for the entire language. Well done guys!

That's the best apart about having a community like this. When a focus/problem gets presented it wields such a massive amount of force/man-hours to attack the problem

This is really really cool. Thanks for posting. I'm especially interested in memory usage right now. I wrote a way to generate load and measure memory impact on your app: https://github.com/schneems/derailed_benchmarks Comparing the two, it looks like this app only uses heap size for memory and doesn't take into account memory that isn't being used but hasn't been freed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/679sd83gqlkligk/Scre…

Sorry for replying here again. So yeah - we plan to report RSS memory as well, but we obviously don't want to shell out.

But - we can do this in C though via the rbkit library. A quick google search returns something like - http://nadeausoftware.com/articles/2012/07/c_c_tip_how_get_p...

Happy to merge a PR that reports this data to the desktop app (from then on it is trivial to actually display or plot it on desktop app).
