I think this shows the speed of my computer more than anything else:

C:\dev>ruby primes.rb
5133
time taken: 2.06 seconds
5133
time taken: 41.82 seconds
Florian again
5133
time taken: 41.86 seconds

Appending this:


puts 'Florian again'

# Florian's version
b = Time.now.to_f
puts Prime.new.inject(0) { |s, x| if x > 50000 then break s else s + 1 end }
printf "time taken: %.2f seconds\n", Time.now.to_f-b
