Description
As per this bug, a new native implementation of some Date logic is being incorporated into C Ruby:
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/4257
If this lands in the next few months, it will be part of 1.9.3. We should move to implement a native version as well, to maintain at least performance parity.

Poking at it a little this evening.
This may warrant us adding a 1.9.3 mode, so we can have this be conditionally turned on. We've been meaning to do that for a while since there's a good chance we'll have 1.9.3 stuff (and maybe even 2.0 stuff) in flight before 1.8.7 mode can be removed.
So far it looks like you're doing it right
