I believe this also includes the bitmap marking GC changes which will make the GC copy-on-write friendly. This is pretty important for a lot of folks running Ruby web servers. See, for example: http://patshaughnessy.net/2012/3/23/why-you-should-be-excited-about-garbage-collection-in-ruby-2-0 http://patshaughnessy.net/2012/3/23/why-you-should-be-excite...

    Thats great! Hope this will work on 1.9.3p286 as well?
