I guess he typed the results instead of copying and pasting, judging
by the missing period after 17 in the first result; so that may be a
typo too.

Anyway, here it goes:

Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz
Arch Linux

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 36 on i686-linux
It took 16.125842 seconds to run. 62012 iterations per second.

Ruby 1.9.0 patch 0 on i686-linux
It took 2.505766 seconds to run. 399079 iterations per second.
