Good question - to be honest I am not sure how dynamic typing is can be
done in the way it is presently done in Ruby. I would expect that some
of the reflection API will come into play that can generates types at
runtime. Such code may have slow startup times but could potentially run
as fast as other managed code.=20

To be honest I don't know how Jim Hugunin has solved some of these
issues for his IronPython - his notes indicate that IronPython is fast,
faster than traditional C python. Look at this blog entry for relevant
links:
