Oh, I thought you had already tested the Jakarta regexp package.  I wasn't 
sure what you were talking about, and thought you were refering to some 
version of the JVM available for Windows.

Ah.  When you said:

Stefan> to compare, "time ruby ..." says 4.7s.

I took it to mean that you were running the benchmarks with "time ...", not 
with the internal benchmark code.

Ok, let me get this straight.  Here's what I'm seeing for a machine with a 
~400MHz CPU and >=128Mb RAM ('time' is with the 'time' command, and 'int' is 
with internal benchmarking around the main loop).

OS		VM	Regex		Time (s)
Windows	1.3	Regexp		9.5
Linux		1.4	Regexp		13
Linux		1.3	Regexp		12.5
Windows	1.4	Sun		~2
Linux		1.4	Sun		0.7 (!!!)
Windows	Ruby			4.7
Linux		Ruby			4.3

Wow.  It is the regexp package.  Bizarre.  Interesting that the Windows 1.3 
JVM is faster than the Linux VM, but the Linux 1.4 VM is faster than the 
Windows VM.

I'm really suprised by the run time of the 1.4 + Sun regex combination.

Ok, now on to get benchmarks of flex.rb.

That would be nice.  If we (as in, my company) can't (easily) get GTK on 
Windows, though, it won't do us much good.

Yup, very portable.  Yeah, I'd like to see wxJava and wxRuby.  Actually, I'm 
not sure I'd need wxJava if I had wxRuby.
