The problem with using microbenchmarks for performance demos is that they are misleading. You can easily make some gullible person believe that JRuby totally kicks MRI's ass performance-wise. Reality is not so cool though: applications are typically a tad slower on JRuby than on MRI. -- Alexey Verkhovsky CruiseControl.rb [http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com] RubyWorks [http://rubyworks.thoughtworks.com] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
