Yes you can. In 3.1.0.4 there is NO limit in the number of gems regarding
the license. Note that this has changed in 3.2 (you have up to 20 free).

In a general point of view, I see it like simply having more Smalltalk VMs
processing the bytecodes of my app :)
Now...if you app happens to be a web app, those "bytecode processing" may
be "listening and processing requests". So more gems, more Smalltalk VMs
being able to listen and process requests. So yes, I think it will help you
your case, even if I could be a workaround.

Best,


        Thanks for any considerations,
