#1077: Performance of String ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: yasuimao@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: MacRuby 1.0 Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by yasuimao@…): I forgot to add the results of another test. Here, I saved the same file as ASCII (lossy conversion) and then converted it to UTF-8 (this means the encoding is UTF-8 but only with ASCII characters). {{{ MacRuby 0.9 2011/01/05 - UTF-8 encoded but only with ASCII characters 8092 words - 0.58 0.63 0.56 }}} This is slightly slower than the one with force_encode, but much faster than the original test (a UTF-8 encoded file with multi-byte characters). -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/1077#comment:8> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
