Hi!

That's indeed pretty slow!
Here are my times:


-In this example, I save some time by not displaying the triangle, just saving 
it in a file:

$ time ./pascal.rb 666 > pascal666

real    0m7.114s
user    0m5.556s
sys     0m0.440s



-In this example, I display the whole triangle:

$ time ./pascal.rb 666

.........................
real    0m12.748
user    0m5.628
sys   0m4.868


Bye,

Eric
