Subject: Re: OMG, why are there so many Strings in ObjectSpace!

I would rather count like this
jruby -X+O -ve 'p ObjectSpace.each_object(String).count'
jruby 1.5.0.RC3 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-05-05 6586) (OpenJDK
Client VM 1.6.0_0) [i386-java]
519
ruby  -ve 'p ObjectSpace.each_object(String).count'
ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i486-linux]
164
ruby  -ve 'p ObjectSpace.each_object(String).count'
ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i686-linux]
