I know it's a ruby VM, I checked out the latest yarv from the subversion repository and compiled it and then compared the speed of ruby 1.8.4 and a newer ruby compiled by yarv by running my program with both ruby and yarv. The xml parser is rexml a ruby library hat can be used by either ruby or yarv.

I think you have misinterpreted my original post. I was comparing the time of execution like this:

  ruby test.rb

and then ...

  /usr/local/yarv/bin/ruby-yarv test.rb
