Isn't that still a correct impression and statement?  Currently the C
implementation to benchmark against is 1.9, which is soon to become
the official release (early next year, if all goes to plan).  1.8 is
mostly 3 years-old code now or so.
Or is JRuby now faster than 1.9?

I do have one, yes.  How much work does the JRuby team place in
actually improving Sun's JVM?

Recently there was a question of actually turning off ObjectSpace for
JRuby as a default, instead of actually taking the JVM and enhancing
it to  support some sort of ObjectSpace, which seemed more like the
right answer to me.
