Easy to install, either via a native Linux package or via the included installer. Can be installed in parallel with regular Ruby. 100% self-contained, 0% installation risk! Ruby Enterprise Edition is a server-oriented friendly branch of Ruby which includes various enhancements: A copy-on-write friendly garbage collector. Phusion Passenger uses this... , in combination with a technique called preforking, to reduce Ruby on Rails applications' memory usage by 33% on average. An improved memory allocator called tcmalloc , which improves performance quite a bit. The ability to tweak garbage collector settings for maximum server performance, and the ability to inspect the garbage collector's state. ( RailsBench GC patch ) The ability to dump stack traces for all running threads ( caller_for_all_threads ), making it easier for one to debug multithreaded Ruby web applications.
