Who's shown Fib?

If "it just doesn't matter" then what's the point of 1.9.2 performance improvement?

towelrod on Feb 28, 2011 [–]

There's not much of a point -- that's why 1.8.7 is still around, and why uptake on 1.9.2 has been so slow.

If 1.9.2 really made every HTTP request go 2x as fast, don't you think every Ruby shop would have switched to 1.9.2 at least a year ago?
