Does this include the "fast require" functionality that many people were patching into their Ruby 1.9.2 installs?

  Yes. "Library loading or locking in multi-threaded program is improved, for example."

    D'oh, I don't understand how I missed that one.

      It kind of understates the issue and hides it behind multi-threading.

  Maybe there was something wrong with my 1.9.2, but when working with rails projects (rake, rails console etc), this feels a few orders of magnitude faster.

      Thanks, I knew about that when it came out, but before I was able to install it, the preview of 1.9.3 came out - which is when I first noticed just how much faster it was. After running a few tests on the commandline, rake and rails commands are even faster than they were in RC1.
