ImageScience is a clean and happy Ruby library that generates thumbnails -- and kicks the living crap out of RMagick. Oh, and it doesn't leak memory like a sieve. :)

zenprofiler helps answer WHAT is being called the most. spyon helps answer WHERE those calls are being made. ZenProfiler provides a faster version of the standard library ruby profiler. It is otherwise pretty much the same as before. spyon provides a clean way to redefine a bottleneck method so you can account for and aggregate all the calls to it.
% ruby -Ilib bin/zenprofile misc/factorial.rb 50000
Total time = 3.056884
Total time = 2.390000

Once you know that Integer#downto takes 50% of the entire run, you can use spy_on to find it. (See misc/factorial.rb for the actual code):
% SPY=1 ruby -Ilib misc/factorial.rb 50000
Spying on Integer#downto
Integer.downto
50000: total
50000: ./misc/factorial.rb:6:in `factorial' via
./misc/factorial.rb:6:in `factorial'

Aja, one of the sexiest rubyists I know, just released omnifocus-bugzilla allowing her to avoid the doldrums caused by using bugzilla. She doesn't blog, so I decided to announce it here.
