I was doing some playing with some implementations for Hash#== and ended
up with some very counterintuitive timings.
I have four equals methods, and I would have expected their performance
to run (from best to worst):
directInject - stops evaluating == after first bad match, no
intermediate arrays
keysInject - as above, but must create keys array
directCollect - evaluated == for all items all the time, intermediate
array of results
keysCollect - as above, but must create keys array.
Actually running the code however, I ended up with the following
timings:
keysCollect
equal 0.18
not equal 0.11
directCollect
equal 0.221
not equal 0.24
directInject
equal 0.31
not equal 0.221
keysInject
equal 0.24
not equal 0.15
Can anybody shed any light on why it's not performing as I would assume?
