[ruby-talk:7410] Re: Ruby performance question

Righto!

New numbers:
                 user     system      total        real 
park:         4.875000   0.070312   4.945312 (  4.994253) 
original:    11.375000   0.117188  11.492188 ( 11.549160) 

and this is interesting:

#!/usr/bin/perl                     
use Benchmark;

open(F,"<keys") || die $!;
timethese (1, { 
               perl => q{ 
                 while(<F>) { 
                   chomp; 
                   tr/=/,/; 
                   %h = split(','); 
                 } 
               } 
              } 
          ); 

Benchmark: timing 1 iterations of perl... 
      perl:  6 wallclock secs ( 6.52 usr +  0.10 sys =  6.62 CPU) 

btw, ruby's benchmarking module is spoiling me :-)
