Ruby 1.8.7 is 3x slower than its predecessor

[arcadiorubiogarcia@…]

Ruby 1.8.7-p72_1 is 3x slower than the 1.8.6 installation that comes with Leopard. It doesn't matter whether it's installed with or without the thread_hooks.

An explanation of the possible cause as well as a solution is discussed in:  http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/browse_thread/thread/2b326089f18f2b29

Note there are also some tickets talking about moving the ruby port back to 1.8.6.

I fixed this problem at the latest version 1.8.7-p72_2 with a patch to ignore ucontext on Leopard. This patch was included in ruby's Portfile before 1.8.7.

Please try it.

I've just tried p72_2 and works again at the expected performance.

Thank you very much for the superfast fix to the problem: slightly more than 1 day!
