Curious about the next post.

My naive/clueless mind always wonders if it wouldn't make sense to make a new class of Ruby objects that are much simpler and would yield both less memory consumption and GC optimizations that could be used for such cases.

Without a different object model it's hard to imagine optimizations that could greatly improve Ruby execution speed for CRuby, or make the GC much faster (huge issue for big applications), but maybe it's because I don't know much :-)
