Addresses huge performance problems with compiled rubies not being properly optimized. Due to this bug, recent versions of ruby installed via boxen+rbenv+ruby-build are currently very slow -- this addresses that issue. (I know for certain with my testing it affects
2.0.0
and I believe also possibly1.9.3
)See rbenv/ruby-build#335 and rbenv/ruby-build#340 and probably most importantly rbenv/ruby-build#351.
Here is a speed comparison with some trivial code on my system:
The performance difference is as much as 300-400%!
Note: Because of
try_to_download_ruby_version.bash
the precompiled ruby binaries that Boxen hosts on S3 will also need to be recompiled after this. I don't believe there is a way for me to do that via a pull request(?), so the Boxen maintainers will need to do so after merging this.
