Subject: Re: [QUIZ] IP to Country (#139)

I just performed the tests another time on my desktop computer with a 
freshly installed Sabayon Linux. I don't know why this one performs that 
much better -- it's gentoo-based, it's the same file system, but it has 
no SCSI controller - maybe that makes it faster? Or is it the dual-core 
... anyway.

It's about twice as fast and requires a fraction of the "sys" times. 
Also the "empty" ruby run is only 5 ms. Mysteriously.

The packer is down at 0.8s, and 100000 lookups are at 6.2 s (file-based 
aka memory efficient) and 3.7 s (everything in-memory).

Anyway -- i'd like to see a 100000 lookups comparison :) *hehe*
