[ruby-core:61136] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5985] miniruby skews "make benchmark" results

Issue #5985 has been updated by Eric Wong.


 May I commit my current STATIC_RUBY version?
 
 It is not perfect for dynamic ruby, but it is better than current
 "make benchmark".  We can make it perfect later.

Bug #5985: miniruby skews "make benchmark" results

----------------------------------------
miniruby has fewer objects and a smaller heap than the normal "ruby",
benchmarks that are affected by GC performance is skewed heavily.
This is most noticeable with the vm3_gc benchmark using the same
Ruby revision/build but different executables (miniruby vs ruby):

$ make
$ make install
$ make benchmark-each ITEM=vm3_gc
ruby ../benchmark/driver.rb -v \
	            --executables="ruby; ./miniruby -I../lib -I. -I.ext/common  ../tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext  -- --disable-gems" \
	            --pattern=vm3_gc --directory=../benchmark 
total: 1 trial(s) (1 trial(s) for 1 benchmark(s))
