speed tests for ruby interpreters

[Vivek]

Hi all,
Are there any published tests for the speed of various ruby
interpreters available and also how it compares with other languages
like python,java,perl etc.I do hear concerns about the fact that ruby
is a tad slow compared to others but I want to see if some tests exist
to prove this.

Shootout is an interesting benchmark. Not sure how relevant it is though.
