  Thanks for linking to my article! There's also http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/388203 http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/... for a longer but more 'bulletpoint' list of items. The key with 1.9.3 is it's essentially work on producing a better implementation internally. The language is mostly unchanged since 1.9.2 but 1.9.3 is a lot faster in specific situations. Couple this with the newly customizable GC settings (I'll be blogging about this shortly) and 1.9.3 is shaping up to be a fine release. 37signals are already using it in production, even. (Plug: And for anyone on 1.8 who's ignorant of what 1.9 is about, I have something to help you at http://rubyinside.com/19walkthrough/ http://rubyinside.com/19walkthrough/)
