[ruby-core:82162] [Ruby trunk Bug#13167] Dir.glob is 25x slower since Ruby 2.2

Issue #13167 has been updated by ahorek (Pavel Rosick箪).


yes, it's on the same hardware and also with the same file path. I used Bash on Windows which could be slower then the native Windows app.
So I also compared it on a native Ubuntu and 2.4.1 is faster on it

~~~
2.1.9 695000 i/s
2.4.1 766827 i/s

after some digging I found out that this change introduced the problem

Hello,
we've found a huge speed regression in our Rails app. After some digging the reason is in `Dir.glob` method which is much slower since Ruby 2.2.6. This is probably Windows only!

This code is used heavily in Rails for partial lookups:

```ruby
Dir.glob('c:/test/myapp/app/views/common/_menu_stats{.en,}{.html,}{}{.erb,.builder,.raw,.ruby,.jbuilder,.coffee,}')
```

Comparsion (x64):
jruby 9.1.7.0 2540 i/s
ruby 2.1.5 2568 i/s
ruby 2.1.9 2569 i/s
**ruby 2.2.6 99 i/s 25 times slower!
ruby 2.3.3 102 i/s
ruby 2.4.0 103 i/s**

I would like to help, but I don't know much about Ruby C internals. Please let me know if you need any additional info. Now we're stuck at 2.1.9 because this issue makes the development on more recent versions unusable.
