For security reasons, I cannot upload the raw data. 
However, parsing out that part, there's not much special, looking at
rbconfig.rb 

  CONFIG["configure_args"] = " ' ...   'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-xnorunpath -xO2'"

I believe it was compiled with sunpro 12.0

So, I suppose the basic performance flaw of csw ruby sparc , is simply that
it was compiled with gcc instead of sunpro cc
