Significant changes have been made to the Ruby package. According to a senior staff engineer in the Performance & Application Engineering Group, “It should also be easy to install any new gem that requires native compilation using gcc - this should just work out of the box.” Performance enhancements for Ruby have shown a 20-30 percent improvement, with SPARC-specific patches improving performance another 8-15 percent, he writes.
