So to summarize, to get rid of an extra 10 (or even 100) megs in Ruby (or 0 megs in some other languages) of memory usage (and disk usage don't forget!) spend weeks rewriting, testing, and integrating your own code instead of using already written, tested, and integrated code. Now, that I've clarified the article's point, how can anyone not follow this "best-practices" advice? </sarcasm>
