Twould appear that they're all close to the same speed
windows mingw:
$ time ruby -ve '10000000.times {33}'
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368) [i386-mingw32]

real    0m1.235s
user    0m0.015s
sys     0m0.030s

rogerdpack@andLinux:$ time ~/installs/ruby-187-p160/bin/ruby -e 
'10000000.times {33}'

real  0m1.490s
user  0m1.460s
sys  0m0.030s

ubuntu as a guest VM:
rdp@rdp-vm:~/$ time ~/installs/ruby_187_p160/bin/ruby -e '10000000.times 
{33}'

real  0m1.251s
user  0m1.160s
sys  0m0.024s

I have had a few troubles with andLinux not working perfectly.  It does 
integrate nicely, window wise, though.
