Since I can't possibly win this DSW, I'll try this on my slowest machines... :) - AMD Athlon 1.4GHz (quite busy server) : Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on i386-freebsd6 It took 42.070099 seconds to run. 23769 iterations per second. Aaand... - PIII 500MHz (diskless workstation with very limited RAM - especially raised from the dead just for you, people !) : Ruby 1.8.4 patch ? on i386-freebsd6 It took 202.375195 seconds to run. 4941 iterations per second. (Wooot !) BTW, on the other direction : - AMD Opteron 244 1.8GHz : Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on amd64-freebsd6 It took 12.838229 seconds to run. 77892 iterations per second.
