i understand that comparing programming languages is a non-trivial issue 
and it depends on the "type of tasks" that you want the program to do. 
what we are trying to look into is how java and ruby fare w.r.t to 
different "kind" of programs..for ex: memory intensive, io intensive, 
regular expression matching etc. the benchmarks would be cpu time, 
memory usage, length of code etc etc.
