Clip question discussed on skype.

I have two questions about the following benchmark and result.

(1) why slowdown if seq == true ?
(2) why not GC'ed? (fatal error)

###

require 'benchmark'
a = 0
b = n = 10_000_000
seq = true

Benchmark.bm{|x|
  x.report{
    h = {}
    (a..b).each{|i|
      h[i.to_s] = nil
    }
  }
  a, b = b, b+n if seq
  x.report{
    h = {}
    (a..b).each{|i|
      h[i.to_s] = nil
    }
  }
  a, b = b, b+n if seq
  x.report{
    h = {}
    (a..b).each{|i|
      h[i.to_s] = nil
    }
  }
}

__END__
