Cool! Thanks for doing the benchmark.

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?

I'm not aware of anything that currently exists. But it sounds like a wiki
would do the job.

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