I wrote a sophisticated lightweight component framework on Java (before Swing) that was very fast. Of course, writing it in a "higher level" language adds overhead, but not as much overhead as bad design ;-) If you could have low-level primitives written natively and layer higher level constructs with Ruby, I think you could build a very responsive UI.

Maybe great, but very slow. Why not make it a standard C-extension and 
distribute it with Ruby? It would run on any platform.

I've implemented LZ77, LZ78, LZW, RLE and BWT (bzip) in pure Ruby and
they are really slow.
