First Time there is any public numbers on Topaz, the RPython / PyPy implementation of Ruby.
Note: Only Two benchmarks presented in the Paper, and as with any benchmarks take it with a grain of x.
If it wasn't for JVM Truffle, Topaz is the fastest implementation of Ruby. And by a large margin. Assuming Ruby 2.0 was 5x faster then Ruby 1.8, Topaz is 8-10x faster then Ruby 2.0!
And Truffle is about 1.5-2.5x faster then Topaz.
Now i want to know would there be a better faster FFI for SVM.
Huh? Where is there any benchmark of Topaz in the paper? All there is involving Topaz is the percentage of RubySpec passed — nothing about performance!

And how far are we from seeing release of SVM?
