As for profiling, you can always do profiling of course, but why copy the efforts others did on it already? Example - General Statements done such as the one by Robert Klemme seem to hold true no matter how much profiling one would do anyway: "I'd replace that with the general rule to avoid object creation because that will cover more cases (Array#concat vs. Array#+, String#gsub! vs. String#gsub etc.)." Personally I like such simple truths. :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
