you're reading in a byte at a time. That, combined with the GVL, can seriously slow things down. You can either increase the number of bytes you're reading each loop or, ideally, use TCPSocket#read with a buffer. It's a bit more work to get right, but it should resolve your performance issues.

Want to report success using QtRuby library with the qtbindings gem.

Internally, Able to use Signals and Slots through the advanced
techniques described around the web.

Now have a working version of the chat available in the GlobalChat2
repository.

https://github.com/jsilverMDX/GlobalChat2/tree/master/gc2-qtruby

It runs on 1.8.7 and 1.9.3. It lacks many of the features of the
advanced MacRuby client coming soon to App Store.

It uses QtDesigner for the GUI files with the UI loader and should run
natively on Mac, Windows and Linux.

However, one thing. The MacRuby client is DAYS faster getting a big log
back from the server than QtRuby, and the signal is obviously not to
blame. This happens on both 1.9 and 1.8.7. Any ideas?


HAPPY TURKY DAY!
