I have finally gotten what I perceive as a 'working' version of mingw 
ruby for windows.  It seems to indeed be faster than the MSVC version 
(!)


MSVC version:

G:\upillar>c:\ruby\bin\ruby -e "a = Time.new; 20000.times do 'a'*20000 
end; print Time.new - a"
9.922

mingw (new) version:
G:\upillar>ruby -e "a = Time.new; 20000.times do 'a'*20000 end; print 
Time.new - a"
6.656

So 30% faster.

If anybody would like to help me alpha test this, I have a distro 
available for download at http://doachristianturndaily.info/ruby_distro/ 
with install instructions located there.
Let me know of any problems.
