You can try different Ruby implementations, you can optimize your code a bit, but you'll never come close to the 8 seconds of Java. I'm not even sure if you've actually adapted Ruby, because the code above rather looks like you're translating Java code into Ruby. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
