We’re Fly.io, a developer-focused public cloud. We turn Docker containers into hardware-isolated virtual machines running on our own metal around the world. We spent years coming up with a developer experience we were proud of. But now the robots are taking over, and they don’t care.

The Curious Case of Beam CPU Usage (2019)
(stressgrid.com)
While benchmarking Go vs Elixir vs Node, we discovered that Elixir (running on the BEAM virtual machine) had much higher CPU usage than Go, and yet its responsiveness remained excellent. Some of our readers suggested that busy waiting may be responsible for this behavior.

MRubyD: A new mruby virtual machine implemented in pure C#
(github.com/hadashiA)
MRubyD is a new mruby virtual machine implemented in pure C#. The name "MRubyD" stands for mruby for dotnet and pays homage to the well-known alternative implementation mruby/c. Designed with seamless integration in mind for C#-based game engines, and emphasize ruby level compatibility. MRubyD leverages the latest C# features for high performance and high extensibility.

Low Overhead Allocation Sampling with VMProf in PyPy's GC
(pypy.org)
There are many time-based statistical profilers around (like VMProf or py-spy just to name a few). They allow the user to pick a trade-off between profiling precision and runtime overhead.

JEP 483: Ahead-of-Time Class Loading and Linking
(openjdk.org)
Improve startup time by making the classes of an application instantly available, in a loaded and linked state, when the HotSpot Java Virtual Machine starts. Achieve this by monitoring the application during one run and storing the loaded and linked forms of all classes in a cache for use in subsequent runs. Lay a foundation for future improvements to both startup and warmup time.
