ruby-1.9.3-p194 cumulative performance patch.

0-readme.md

Ruby 1.9.3-p0 with ruby-debug19 and performance patches

What is?

This includes the ruby-debug patch Jonathan probably sent you (if you work at Shopify...), and a bunch of performance fixes by Sokolov Yura, aka. funny-falcon. Somebody buy that man a beer.

What I need?

  • rbenv
  • ruby-build

OR

  • rvm

How do I do?

If you're using rbenv:

curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1688857/rbenv.sh | sh

If you're using rvm, switch to rbenv. Alternatively:

curl https://raw.github.com/gist/1688857/rvm.sh | sh

(I haven't tested this one, but it should work. Report back if it doesn't!)

Also, putting the following in your shell config (eg. ~/.bash_profile) will make Rails even faster, but will increase its memory footprint a bit:

export RUBY_HEAP_MIN_SLOTS=1000000
export RUBY_HEAP_SLOTS_INCREMENT=1000000
export RUBY_HEAP_SLOTS_GROWTH_FACTOR=1
export RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=1000000000
export RUBY_HEAP_FREE_MIN=500000

On Mac OS X Mountain Lion you'll have to remove the require_gcc to work

Install went smoothly, but surprisingly 1.9.3-p194-perf loads rails a little less than a second slower than my falcon-patched 1.9.3-p0...

without perf

[10:36] time rails runner "puts 'hello world'"
hello world

real 0m7.699s
user 0m3.910s
sys 0m1.243s

with perf

[10:37] time rails runner "puts 'hello world'"
hello world

real 0m3.347s
user 0m2.441s
sys 0m0.893s

Thanks!

On rvm, this is slower than the un-patched rubies for me (OSX 10.8.2) -- rails boots ~25% slower. What am I doing wrong?

Without

hello world
14.35 real 11.72 user 1.66 sys

With

hello world
11.31 real 9.58 user 1.27 sys

So, 3 seconds off a 14-second startup. Probably not going to push this to production or anything.
