Check out the Ox gem on rubygems or github. If anyone is interested I released a new gem that is at least twice as fast as Nokogiri. Check out the Ox gem on rubygems or github.

It's a terrific side-by-side comparison. And yes, we're always looking for help supporting the pure-Java port of Nokogiri. Stop by #nokogiri on freenode or subscribe to the nokogiri-talk google group if you're interested! Cheers. Nick – Thanks so much for writing this up! It's a terrific side-by-side comparison.

Sounds like an interesting project to take on. Possibly the easiest way to use it might be to use the Java VTD-XML parser library from JRuby.
