Based on comments from <a
href="http://www.bloglines.com/blog/ThomasEEnebo">Thomas Enebo</a>, have
changed the way we were processing requests as part of the gem. This has
given about 5x improvement in the time taken to process requests on my
simple HelloWorld test.
From this release of the gem, you would be able to checkout and build
the gem. This was a request made by many users and is one of the reason
why the release of the gem was delayed by a couple of weeks. I will
publish a blog shortly detailing information on how to build the gem
from the GlassFish V3 source.
