If you just want ideas here are a few [or anybody else can contribute ideas if you've thought of something once that you would put a bounty our for]. 1) mod_rails: integrate jruby with it somehow. Beef it up with a few of its most starred wish list items [1]. My own favorite would be Make RailsMaxPoolSize Vhost than Global :) 2) experiment with the MRI garbage collector, see what settings are good with what, create getters/setters for it [2]. Could profile it with the Ruby Benchmark Suite [3]. 3) Try to optimize rails. I.e. look for bottlenecks and try and clear them up with quality LRU cacheing or prepared statements or something :P 4) ruby 1.9 quality debugger. ruby-debug is currently only 1.8.x compat, I believe. I'm actually not sure if this is totally possible, but some parts of it are probably 1.9 compatible. 5) "pie in the sky" psyco for ruby implement an LLVM JIT for Ruby. Speaking of which I wish that the Google Summer of Code people somehow were more transparent--like they had to post a result of their work to at least ruby talk or something.
