understand they are usually a version behind regular Ruby but you have the
power of the JVM. I agree with speeding Ruby up to the credit of the core
team they did make an effort on the last release. I do think there are a
few other options. (Don't get me wrong I am not opposed to the speed sprints
I just wanted to present other options) As far as I know the Ruby runtime
is missing lookahead ability. If that is correct adding lookahead could
give the runtime a huge performance boost. Another alternative to asking
the Ruby core team to do these sprints we could profile, make changes, and
submit the commits (and test cases) ourselves. I have never worked on open
source project before, but I am speaking with someone about how to get
involved and be a productive active member. It takes more than I originally
thought.

Done, and I know that there are improvements. But it's not enough--
