As people spend more time with Ruby 1.9, JRuby, and Rubinius, we are seeing a lot more benchmarks. It has been a while since we published any metrics, so I thought now would be a good time to summarize our recent experience on some real projects.

Summary: performance was sufficient for our projects, according to our developers & customers.
This is not terribly useful since they don't actually describe the projects or the performance requirements involved.
It's a good point that many, many web apps have a known, limited user base, fairly simple processing requirements, and the bottleneck's going to be on the database anyway... in which case you should be using the programming language/framework/etc. that will make you most productive and give you the most maintainable code, since its performance is almost irrelevant.
This is not true of all projects, though.
