Greetings. 

In a similar situation, we ended up building the sensitive parts in C, 
compiling those and using Ruby elsewere. That met our cost / benefit 
requirements. Often, large parts of applications aren't really sensitive, 
it's a lot of standard stuff in GUIs and data massage etc. 

Good luck
