Hello David,

DG> if i have to choose one, then os threads.

I second that. Having no real threads makes ruby very very unuseable for
todays state of the art application. And i don't talk about
performance, i talk about responsiveness of the application. The
former one will get important soon if Intel/AMD start shipping Dual
Core CPU's even for workstations as announced next year.

So i would vote for stopping all other things and start working
on threads in 1.9
