Hello,

I'm coding a program which implements the levenshtein distance between two
strings. It works, but very slowly.

I discover that the slowest line in the code is:

current[j] = m

where current is an array of Fixnum, and m is a Fixnum.

If i comment this line the program runs about 50 times faster.
If I change it to any other thing, like "current[j] = 1" it still running
fast.

I can't understand why "current[j] = 1" is faster than "current[j] = m".

Thanks,

Michel Boaventura
