From: Derril Lucci Date: 2010-05-29T13:55:21+09:00 Subject: Source Code for puts(..) Dear all, I am writing a program that for some reason one of the options takes 20 seconds to run while the other two combined take 12 seconds. I have the problem narrowed down to one line of code that is always run. This line executes a shell command via puts(`...`). So, I am convinced the reason the program takes so long lies in the puts source. If anyone can direct to that, I would be most grateful. TL;DR: My code is running slowly and I think puts(..) is the reason why. Anyone have the source for it? Cheers, dlucci -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
