Fascinating.

I've been working on a rubygems replacement as well:

http://github.com/rdp/faster_rubygems

Mine replaces loading of full rubygems (+specs) with loading a cache
file listing known  lib files.  Zozo looks most excellent, and you'd
think you could rip out of the guts of rails' gem loading and it would
work fine with rail, though that might be hard :)

The only drawback I see to zozo is that it doesn't appear to catch gem
updates.  But it would work splendidly for those ok with those
restrictions, like servers :)
