Erik DeBill did some interesting benchmarks lately that showed JRuby has a more linear performance overall when scaled up with heavier loads:

And the Torquebox team (Torquebox being a JRuby Rack app server using JBoss) also did some benchmarks and discovered (surprise, surprise) that Torquebox on JRuby significantly outperforms the alternatives on 1.9.2:

(Disclaimer: Of course, benchmarks aren't authority figures so it's always worth running them for yourself..)



Just a nitpick, I see no comparison against 1.9.2 there in those Benchmarks. It is either REE or MRI 1.8.7.
