The name of the virtual machine that runs Ruby 1.9 and up, is YARV  
(not YARM).

I'm not sure what makes you say it's "10x faster," but that sounds a  
little high to me.  My recent playing with the VM showed a little  
over a 2x increase in speed, for the code I was running.  This was a  
very unscientific test for sure, but it *may* be a little closer to  
the average speed increase people are likely to see.
