Are these still useful with modern Ruby versions?

I know that in the past, these patches were able to shave off ~20% from the time to run tests, but are there any recent benchmarks for using these with Ruby 3+?

What are the tradeoffs / why wouldn't these patches be rolled into Ruby itself?

Of course, I mean no offense. You've obviously contributed a lot to the Ruby community, and I'm mainly asking because a number of ruby installations have been including the patches by default for years, and I wonder if you think this is still a good idea for general use.

No offense taken. I should probably update the README.

As of Ruby 3.x, the patches have shrunk down to provide runtime metrics that are used by my time_bandits gem which in turn is used by my logjam project, which is an APM solution comparable to NewRelic.

There are no performance improvements to b obtained from the patches anymore.
