endYes, on my computer it ran in 2 seconds, but I didn’t have the same
driver as you did because I couldn’t go into the bignum range. So I
did the biggest you had an extra 20 times instead.
Your mentioning bignums made me wonder whether my previous
benchmark was fair to Ruby, since Lua was using 64-bit floats
instead of bignums. Here’s a revised version that doesn’t use
bignums.
Ruby

3.step( Math.sqrt(n).floor, 2){|i|
if n % i == 0

prime_count += 1
