I have not followed all the changes suggested by others, so these may be
a repetitions.

On Page 2:

1. In "Project Objective", the statement reads:

To solve this problem, several virtual _machines has_ been developed,
but none has achieved adequate performance...

It should be:

To solve this problem, several virtual _machines have_ been developed,
but none has achieved adequate performance...

2. In "Optimization of VM Speedup", under the bullet point: Operands,
Instructions Unification (a.k.a. Super Instruction),
the point is:

Create new instructions which are embedded specific operands or combined
some instructions.

It is not clear to me what you want to say about the new instructions.
But by looking at the context, my guess is:

Create new instructions which embed specific operands or combine some
instructions.

3. Down below under "Evaluation", the statement reads:

Right two graphs show results of YARV speedup ratio compared to current
Ruby interpreter.

I would put it as:

The two graphs on the right show results of YARV speedup ratio compared
to current Ruby interpreter.

4. In the same box on the left, under "Status and Future work", the
Issues list:

Native Thread support and run Ruby program parallel

It should be:

Native Thread support and run Ruby programs in parallel

5. Under the Issues list again:

AOT (Ahead-of-Time) Compilation completely

It should be just:

AOT (Ahead-of-Time) Compilation

Or:

Complete AOT (Ahead-of-Time) Compilation

6. Finally,

Apply other optimizations using example from Smalltalk, Self and other
dynamic OO languages.

Should be:

Apply other optimizations using examples from Smalltalk, Self and other
dynamic OO languages.

The word example should be plural. Unless, of course, there is only one
example. :-)

Hope this helps .... wish you the very best at RubyConf 05 and OOPSLA'05.

Please consider writting for "Ruby Code and Style", the online Enlgish
zine we launched today (10/10/2005).

Thanks,
