hmmm. i try to say that Ruby overload is about 1000 asm instructions
per method call, and someone had to see is this appropriate for
particular program or part of program

i personally started from thought that interpreted languages can be
used for 90% of code in large projects, switched for this from perl to
ruby and still feel that i need more strict language while performance
is more subject of algorithms, data structures and system libraries
