[MacRuby-devel] Another meaningless benchmark

But what the heck, they're fun. :-) http://www.timestretch.com/FractalBenchmark.html prabhaka$ ruby --version ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0] Ruby Elapsed 4.885692 prabhaka$ macruby --version MacRuby version 0.5 (ruby 1.9.0) [universal-darwin10.0, x86_64] Ruby Elapsed 0.251436 Roughly 20x faster! That would make us comparable to Lua for this benchmark -- about 30x slower than C. -- Ernie P.
