Gah, mistype, the install is:

gem install ogre.rb

Ogre really isn't that hard to get together, near everything you need is
there at the site.

As for rendering speed, most of the execution time sits in Ogre's C++ code,
you don't lose much. There is a slight almost unnoticable jerk when GC goes,
not sure what can be done with that. That said, I haven't built anything
large with the wrapper yet, so I can't comment on how much you lose.
Hopefully Ruby 2.0 will be out soon(ish) so we can stop worring about Ruby
execution speeds.
