I would have thought at this news as a big fat news on Ruby blogs, people who dream to merge it into official MRI, +1000 points on HN... instead it seems to be quite ignored; am I the only one interested in Ruby performances?

It's 13 days old and entirely undocumented (at least in English). I think it's probably a bit too early to say it's ignored. I also think that a lot of the attention to Ruby performance has moved on from CRuby (for better or for worse) and on to other implementations like Rubinius and JRuby. As for HN points, I think it's not sparking a lot of discussion yet because it's difficult to understand. The approach and architectural specifics aren't documented as far as I can tell and the code isn't forked / branched on GitHub so effort is required to even figure out what code has changed at all. I'd expect this project to get more popular once the talk describing it is released and people have had a chance to look at it.
