I think the reason for doing this in ruby is that ruby is single threaded, I've been told. The JVM isn't.
This is of course muddied with Jruby. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3086467/confused-are-languages-like-python-ruby-single-threaded-unlike-say-java-for Anyway I don't see any reason you should need to install two instances. I believe that they'll both end up running in the same JVM also but again could be wrong.
