Looking forward to see the numbers in JRuby but this seems to be (finally) matching the java and native implementations, it took just ~3 years 😅

Thanks @kddnewton and @andreaTP! I'll put out a release and get this fully merged back to JRuby.

The next stage of this will be getting the gem shipped with the WASM version, so JRuby users don't have to deal with native libraries.
