The 500ms patch apparently isn't good because it limits how often ruby
can switch between threads. This seems strange to me, because the
kernel should be scheduling the threads, so I'll ask again.
At any rate, it did trigger some discussion and doesn't seem to be fixed
yet in any ruby version.
(For sup uses, 500ms works just fine, and that's my only ruby app).
