Ruby 2.0.0 quick performance test

I was just working on my Lucy project when I got the news on Twitter the Ruby 2.0 was released. I thought I test the improved require implementation.

I followed the instructions of Eric Wendelin to install Ruby 2.0:

It’s not a big complex application, but I feel much improvement to 1.9.3 and 1.9.2 looks quicker.

Thanks Ruby and Happy 20th birthday to you!
