Speed issue on Windows

It would be nice to see the comparison run on linux (same machine), too.

To make this simple: it’s true, current distribution/build of ruby
perform worse than linux counterparts.

I just can say ‘we’ are working hard to get a better build of Ruby for
Windows.

Thanks for your work on that. I know some of us use win32 and suffer :slight_smile:

Speaking of Ruby, Windows and dual-booted machines, I recently decided
to rebuild my dual-booted laptop and load a few Windows test and
development tools on the Windows partition. The Linux-side rebuild is
still in progress, but I should be able to try some simple things over
the weekend. I’m holding off on Ruby until the One-Click is released,
though, and I will not be loading Cygwin (or VC6, for that matter). I
think I have enough disk space for Visual Studio Express and Komodo (and
SwiftForth) :), but that’s about it.
