How fast does your Ruby run?

I got 53648 iterations per second running the following program,
on an Intel 3.2 GHz HT, Win XP machine:

--------

C:\> ruby calculate.rb
55

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on i386-mswin32
It took 18.64 seconds to run. 53648 iterations per second.

--------

n = 1_000_000

start_time = Time.now

for i in 1..n
t = (1..10).inject {|x, y| x + y }
end

finish_time = Time.now

p t

puts
print "Ruby ", RUBY_VERSION, " patch ", RUBY_PATCHLEVEL, " on ",
RUBY_PLATFORM

puts
print "It took #{finish_time - start_time} seconds to run."
print " #{(n / (finish_time - start_time)).to_i} iterations per
second.\n"

Here's something interesting. The processor is Intel T7200 @ 2.00GHz,
Linux Ubuntu.

1. With ruby 1.8.5. which comes packaged with Ubuntu:

Ruby 1.8.5 on i486-linux
It took 20.346013 seconds to run. 49149 iterations per
second.

2. With ruby 1.9.0 (2006-06-08) which comes packaged in Ubuntu:

Ruby 1.9.0 on i486-linux
It took 23.875774 seconds to run. 41883 iterations per
second.


3. With ruby 1.8.6 compiled from sources on the machine:

Ruby 1.8.6 on i686-linux
It took 7.107875 seconds to run. 140689 iterations per
second.


Obviously, the target instruction set matters quite a lot. I think I'll
be compiling my own ruby from now on. :)

Ok. Since I can't possibly win this DSW, I'll try this on my slowest
machines... :)

- AMD Athlon 1.4GHz (quite busy server) :

Ruby 1.8.6 patch 0 on i386-freebsd6
It took 42.070099 seconds to run. 23769 iterations per second.

Aaand...

- PIII 500MHz (diskless workstation with very limited RAM - especially
raised from the dead just for you, people !) :

Ruby 1.8.4 patch ? on i386-freebsd6
It took 202.375195 seconds to run. 4941 iterations per second.

(Wooot !)

BTW, on the other direction :

- AMD Opteron 244 1.8GHz :

Hi all,

Ok, here's some more numbers (comparing ubuntu pre-compiled, compiled
from sources and development version):

* Ruby 1.8.5 shipped with Ubuntu: 30.871182 seconds
* Ruby 1.8.5 compiled from sources: 12.173341 seconds (wooh, what a difference!)
* Ruby 1.8.6 compiled from sources: 11.238127
* Ruby 1.9.0 (downloaded today from ruby-lang.org and compiled from
sources): 3.561564

All the tests have been run on an Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz
running Kubuntu Linux 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).

See ya!
