Good work!

I was thinking if the slowness of loading is because of all the class
loaders used... Would it make sense to let the standard library run with
the same class loader, you think?
And in the same manner, when we're talking about compiling RubyGems on
installation, having the same class loader for the whole gem seems to
make sense, neh?
