Looking at http://code.google.com/p/android-ruby/, it is an interpreted language on top of a mix of bytecompiled and native code. (So, slightly worse than other environments, where it is simply interpreted+native.)
Puppet, being an interpreter in it's own right written in ruby, adds another layer of same.. Is there something I'm missing? (As an aside, 50 megs - only 3 shared - seems to be fairly standard for memory use when idle. That -screams- "not made for embedded" :) ..)
