My filesystem is littered with micro benchmarks. Is there a website out  
there where folks could copy, paste & run benchmarks for Ruby code  
snippets?

Obviously, such a site would be potentially hazardous, but I suspect the  
hazards can be mitigated by using setrlimit(), limiting overall method  
size, setting a maximum number of iterations, etc.

Thoughts?

How about creating a RubyForge project (possibly named  
“microbenchmarks”)  
and using the wiki that comes with the project.
