Subject: String Handling in Ruby

Hello all,

I am trying to inspect how ruby allocates string.

I created an array of size 61 million and allocated two different kinds
of string in that array using a loop. One small string like "MAC" and
second a big string (like from a to z). And i tried to measure the time
of the whole process using Time function.

Strangely while allocating the small string the program takes 120
seconds whereas while allocating the big string it takes 65 seconds.

Can any one tell me why this time difference is going on?

Regards

Tridib
