Yep you were right on.

stable branch is fast

[Mon Mar 24 15:09:40 ~/Downloads/ruby_stable ]$ time ./ruby -e 
"10000000.times {}"

real  0m4.222s


p111 is fast
 time /usr/bin/ruby_old -e "10000000.times {}"

real  0m4.276s

and the rest in between similarly are.

The only truly slow one appears to be the macPort version.  I don't know 
what compile flags they are using but it appears truly slower.


time ruby -e "10000000.times {}"

real  0m5.710s
(consistently)
Despite that they both have similar startup speeds.

Thanks for pointing that out!
