From: Jim Menard Date: 2009-02-27T22:16:52+09:00 Subject: Array performance question Here's a real Array performance mystery. I can't help my friend figure this one out. He writes, ======== Is there a known bug in Ruby array performance? I spent a lot of time yesterday boiling down the following example http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/geir/archives/001768_baffled_with_ruby.html only because I still can't believe I'm not doing something incredibly stupid. (I'm a newbie, "Reluctant Rubyist") I'm just not used to arrays behaving this way :) Anyone have any insight? ======== He'd love a response in his blog, but with permission I'll copy answers here over there. He's not a regular ruby-talk reader...yet. Jim -- Jim Menard, jimm@io.com, jim.menard@gmail.com http://www.io.com/~jimm/
