I am new to this list and Ruby in general. I had read a blog post recently
that concerned me a bit,
http://www.pankaj-k.net/archives/2005/11/ruby_or_java_a.html.

The post points out two apps written to do the same task the same way, one
in Java and the other in Ruby. The Java application turned out to be 12x
faster than the Ruby app. I know we are not really comparing apples to
apples here but I was wondering if there are any real-world test results ou=
t
there that show Ruby's performance vs. other languages and where Ruby stack=
s
up.

Thanks,
Rob Bazinet
