I''ve just committed fastthread 0.5.3, which finally gives us a working SizedQueue (which hadn''t really ever worked in previous versions). Mostly it was just a matter of refactoring Queue and SizedQueue into a single class behind the scenes, so I could move the signalling of the SizedQueue-specific condition variable inside the queue''s critical section.

fastthread is a library which replaces the synchronization primitives defined in stdlib?s thread.rb (Mutex, ConditionVariable, Queue, and SizedQueue) with optimized versions which: * are much faster (in the non-contention case, speed comparable to direct use of Thread.critical or Thread.exclusive) * don?t leak memory (the stdlib implementation of Mutex manages to trigger worst-case behavior of a memory leak in Arra...

Heya Folks- This is mainly for Zed and Mentalguy. I have been playing with the new release of rubygems 0.9.0.8 and I have a major problem with the requirement that fastthread needs to be required before thread. Just requiring rubygems and then requiring fastthread right after that will throw the error: ez _blog $ ruby require ''rubygems'' require
