Are you sure it's loading libruby.so or is it getting libruby18.so?  It
should be linked against libruby18.so and that's what I see on my systems. 
There is a libruby.so, but that was left in place in the event people had
built local gems against it after switching to suffixed file names.  See
CSWlibruby1 vs CSWlibruby18-1.

I still expect to find that the optimization flags are the real slowdown
here, but it's good to know that we're not chasing a different problem.
