Subject: BLOG: zenprofile (& berkeley) & zenoptimize

	http://blog.zenspider.com/

I've recently written two (three) blog entries, focusing on a new set 
of tools I'm experimenting with.

The first is zenprofile, which is Yet Another Profiler that tries to 
strike a balance between code readability and speed (8 times faster 
than the native profiler yet almost 4 times smaller than Shugo's 
profiler).

The second is zenoptimizer, which binds ruby2c, rubyinline, and a 
lightweight version of zenprofile together to create an experimental 
profiler with startling results (5x faster!).

While I don't have code to show _quite_yet_, I'm close to having 
everything packaged up and ready for release. It'll also require me to 
put out new versions of RubyInline, ParseTree, and ruby2c. What I would 
like is to get more eyeballs on all of these things and hopefully a 
very creative dialog will result from all of this. So, please, take a 
look and let me know what you think. Thanks!

P.S. I'm in Berkeley for the weekend... anyone in the 
Berkeley/Oakland/SF area??
