Yesterday, we had Ruby meetup(BRUG[1]) with co-leaders of jruby (Mr. Charles Oliver Nutter & Thomas E Enebo). They showed us some facts about MRI vs. jruby. Especially they showed how MRI's Garbage Collector is worse than Java's one for enterprise environment. In Rails 3.2 GC takes 40% of working time, and of course they mentioned that's one of the reasons why Twitter moves to Java. [1]- http://brug.cz/
