"... and date library were reimplemented in C" Is this merge of https://github.com/jeremyevans/home_run https://github.com/jeremyevans/home_run ?

  Not sure, but it's a lot faster either way: https://gist.github.com/1117138 https://gist.github.com/1117138

    That's an impressive speed boost. How much of the Ruby stdlib is implemented in C?

    I'd be interested to see how a better-implemented, properly optimized pure-Ruby version would perform.

  Nope. It was a new implementation by Tadayoshi Funaba (the ruby Date maintainer), but it uses a similar data structure to home_run, and performs about as well.
