Description:
Ruby might be slow, but bad code only makes it worse. This talk will teach you how to use powerful tools to see how your code is executed, so you can understand, debug and optimize it.
The talk will cover techniques that can be used to troubleshoot production ruby deployments from three perspectives: the operating system and process, the C code VM, and the Ruby code in application itself. Each tool will be presented with a variety of real-world examples of how it was used to solve problems in a popular library or application.

This talk alone was worth the price of admission to Lone Star Ruby Conference.

The good part about his presentation was that it was very factual and practical at the same time explained pretty well that even a non C & non Unix developer can understand. Nearly all the tools I have learned in his presentation will be used at one time or another by any serious Ruby/RoR developer.

I didn't get to watch the presentation live, but I've already gone over the slides a few times and will watch the video as soon as its available.
The content was great, and this is a very important topic to me, as I've been asked by several clients to look into the performance issues of their existing applications.
I gained so much by watching this presentation. It was very cool to hear about your real world examples of using the tools. There is no shortage of demand for this kind of material for the Ruby community, great stuff.
