There could be any number of things he could do to improve performance
that have everything to do with how he coded it, which would be ruby
specific.  Two applications written in the same language to perform
the same function can have very different performance.  And not to
pick on the OP, but how the question was asked leads me to believe
that he might not have a lot of programming experience, and thus it's
even more likely that writing his application differently could
increase performance.
