ruby-1.9.3-p385 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p385 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

ruby-1.9.3-p484 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p484 with the railsexpress patchsets: https://github.com/skaes/rvm-patchsets

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

	Ruby 2.1.0 in Production: known bugs and patches

	Last week, we upgraded the github.com rails app to ruby 2.1.0 in production.
	While testing the new build for rollout, we ran into a number of bugs. Most of
	these have been fixed on trunk already, but I've documented them below to help
	anyone else who might be testing ruby 2.1 in production.

	@naruse I think we should backport these patches to the ruby_2_1 branch and
	release 2.1.1 sooner rather than later, as some of the bugs are quite critical.
	I'm happy to offer any assistance I can to expedite this process.

	# Heroku injects it if it's not in there already
	gem 'rails_12factor'
	end

	# Thee will be more information here when I share the entire problem space I'm working on, but
	# in short, this is preview material for my second talk in a series called "What Computer Scientists Know".
	# The first talk is on recursion, and goes through several examples., leading up to a problem based
	# on a simple puzzle that initial estimates based on performance of a previous puzzle would take years
	# to solve on modern computers with the techniques shown in Ruby. That sets the stage for improving the
	# performance of that problem with threading, concurrency, and related tuning.
	#
	# The second talk is on threading and concurrency, touching on algorithmic performance as well.
	# Using some knowledge of the problem (board symmetry, illegal moves, etc), we reduce the problem space
	# to about .5% of what we initially thought it was. Still, the initial single threaded solution took more
