I didn't read the patch, but I found a weird behavior.
I think the approach is interesting, though.

  $ cat t.rb
  a = (1..10).lazy
  p a.map {|x| x + 1 }.to_a
  p a.map {|x| x + 1 }.to_a
  p a.map {|x| x + 1 }.to_a

  # without the patch
  $ ./miniruby.org t.rb
  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

  # with the patch applied
  $ ./miniruby.new t.rb
  [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
  [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
  [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]

Bug #6183: Enumerator::Lazy performance issue

I benchmarked Enumerator::Lazy and that's what I got:
                 user     system      total        real
Lazy:        0.690000   0.010000   0.700000 (  0.733160)
Normal:      0.160000   0.010000   0.170000 (  0.186695)

It seems like even with 4 chain links and 3000 elements in initial array, Lazy enumerator is almost 4(!) times slower than the normal case.

Instead of performance benefit we've got 4 times performance drawback.

See test file attached.
