Hi all,
Ok, here’s some more numbers (comparing ubuntu pre-compiled, compiled
from sources and development version):
All the tests have been run on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
running Kubuntu Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).
See ya!
Intel Dual Core 2GHz, 2GB RAM:

How fast does your Ruby run?
After submitting the results for my local machines, I thought it would
be a good idea to test some servers I work with. Here it goes:
*** Dreamhost shared hosting
$ ruby calculate.rb

Ruby 1.8.5 on i386-linux
It took 36.407013 seconds to run. 27467 iterations per

Make sure you use the appropriate “march=” flag when you do. See

I was also amyazed. The original poster could actually find out quite
easily whether the improvement comes from recompiling:
This will build a package that’s not optimized for the local
architecture. In order to do the latter he will need to change the
config/compile options in debian/rules.

How can you draw that conclusion? You used three different versions
of ruby.

I’ve built using cygwin several times w/out issue. Not recently though,
the setup version has been kept pretty up to date and has been speedy
enough for what I use it for. ( results are posted earlier in the thread
)

lol. I imagine he doesn’t want to get swatted by ruby purists. He
compiled into machine code instead of using the interpreter?
For what it’s worth, I was able to have an 800MHz machine do 30
seconds with the 1.8.6 standard build from source by disabling the GC
in irb and loading via…
irb> load “test.rb”
Standard time during normal computer operation for executing the OP’s
code was around 49+/-5 seconds. Normal operation included having a
heavy use network session mixed with X Windows open and a window
manager.
I pushed it to do less than 20 seconds by rewriting the code
(cheating) to omit the inject method, making it look ugly with while
loops, and also leaving out the puts/p/print methods.
I will confirm that it was extremely easy to beat the one-click
install on a newer/faster Windows machine with 1.8.6. Nothing against
that, though, because making a clean install of anything on Windows is
nothing less than an act of God (nothing against the Windows fans
either; it justs seems harder than it needs to be; I think this will
change eventually). I have yet to attempt Cygwin or MingW building on
a Windows system, though. I haven’t tried the 1.9 installer yet,
either.

You are right, that was one hasty conclusion.
Here are the real results, indicating how ruby was compiled:

–target=i686-linux

Note the “–enable-pthread” in the last measurement. The binary
distributed with Ubuntu is compiled with pthreads.

Oh, and finally, the latest Ruby from svn…

One more strike against using Debian packaged Ruby!
Just for fun, this is for a Macbook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1GB
or ram (Ruby was installed using macports)
