Yeah, but who wants to *deploy* Ruby code on Windows? Develop, sure...but then performance doesn't matter. If IronRuby is aiming only to be a windows centric technology, I can't imagine what future it really has in store for it, that is, standing alone on its own two feet as a Ruby implementation. Integrated into .NET software is a different story irrelevant to the benchmarks being discussed, but I don't think the benchmarks are misleading as far as the Ruby community at large is concerned, because for that group, I don't imagine Windows is a viable deployment target ( why would it be?) so benchmarking on Linux is probably the most realistic kind of benchmarking you can do when comparing ruby interpreters for that particular audience. I suppose that is one of the things that makes the IronRuby project an enigma to me - in my mind Ruby is a finger pointing to Linux, so it seems an odd one for Microsoft to extend.

It's probably not intentional but his benchmark graphs are misleading. Because Mono is not nearly as fast or as mature as Microsoft's .NET, the performance of IronRuby on mono is much worse. Unfortunately all his graphs show Mono performance only, which makes IronRuby appear very slow. If you look at the numbers directly (there is a table further down comparing IronRuby on mono vs IronRuby on .net), IronRuby is much much faster. It appears to me that IronRuby on windows (.NET) is faster than MRI 1.9.2 ("regular" ruby) on windows! It's still not as fast as MRI 1.9.2 on linux, but it's not that far behind either.
