It's what we currently use in FreeRIDE and I kinda like the way Ripper 
is used. Currently we only use it to aquire all methods/modules/classes. 
I guess I could look into working with a different parser but I'd prefer 
Ripper.

That's a bit of a letdown, nothing too serious. Probably easy to work 
around by wrapping the IO-source.
Do you have any idea as to how memory-intensive either are?

Anyhow, thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it if Ripper takes too 
long to get running again.
