People,

I have talked to people here before about speeding up my population genetics scripts and have made a bit of progress with optimising etc but I thought I would compare the three versions of Ruby I have been looking at - NB these results are on my real (not test) code, albeit on a reduced number of iterations.

I ran the normal number of the inner two loops and only one of the outermost loop (ie 1/50th of the total) and got the following with the different versions of Ruby:

ruby-1.8.7-p334 [ x86_64 ]      =  31.41
ruby-1.9.2-p180 [ x86_64 ]      =  19.53
rbx-head [ ]                    = 128.42

I realise that rbx started as an interesting exercise but the general goal would to be eventually faster than v1.9? - if so, it seems like there is way to go yet?

Regards,

Phil.
