Performance tests show Ruby as fast as Molasses

Did you even read the article, IHBT
Test     Java 6     Python 2.5     Psyco     Comparison
Standard Output     29.47     27.96     25.65     Python and Psyco slightly faster
Hashtable*     0.22     0.46     0.12     Psyco 2X faster than Java,
Java 2X faster than Python
I/O     0.49     1.12     0.68     Psyco 1.4X slower than Java,
Java 2X faster than Python
List     0.10     0.45     0.06     Psyco almost 2X faster than Java,
Java 4.5X faster than Python
Object Allocation     0.14     6.75     3.17     Psyco 20X slower than Java,
Java 50x faster than Python
Interpreter Speed**     0.004     0.37     0.12     Psyco 30X slower than Java,
Java 90X faster than Python

Comparing FIOC's speed to Java's is a pretty unmatched comparison, seeing how Python is interpreted and Java isn't.

Neither are interpreted. Try harder.

I don't think `means` means what you think it means.
