I believe for _newcomers_, it is much easier and ultimately better to point them at "better" habits (insofar as "what is faster"), than tell them to use benchmarks on their own. There seems to exist a slight need for these kind of questions, as they do reappear again and again, probably to squeeze the max out of ruby's performance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
