[Ruby] How to patch ruby-mysql bindings?

[Dan Harms]

Fair enough.  No, I haven't measured any bottlenecks yet.  I am
working on an application that is importing over 500K records daily
with multiple updates per record, and thought this might be a
pre-emptive attack on my part.  I'll get some more specific numbers to
benchmark against.

Is patching the bindings generally not recommended, or just time
intensive, so not worth it unless absolutely necessary?
