Other implementations you haven't mentioned like MacRuby are much faster. In my totally unscientific and completely biased benchmarks (small tests related to the type of work I do mainly - Machine Learning) MacRuby is now faster than Python (2.6) and is closing the gap on V8 (which, in the tests I wrote, was even faster than Go, and less than twice as slow as C).
