I think I reported earlier but may not have. Simiple ruby programs
like counting start a bit slower on my machine but then seem to run
just as fast as on Chet's. OTOH the Ruby unit tests go slowly.

I'm thinking I'll try turning off the rubygems thing and if that
doesn't crack it, try a full reinstall of Ruby. Cheaper than a new
computer, which I'm sure would fix it. :)

Thanks ... keep those cards and letters coming.
