Yes, I have been using Ruby 1.9.1 in production for several months now.

Yes, I have noticed significant performance in Ruby code execution. However, there's no silver-bullet and Ruby language is only one part of the performance puzzle. Also, you don't want to go down the path of premature optimization. Furthermore, it really depends on what you're doing in your Rails application. > > Was there any problems with rails code or custom code breaking down? > Rails code worked as expected being that Rails tests are run against both Ruby 1.8.x and Ruby 1.9.1.
