I read your benchmarks on Ruby, but you didn't list the implementation or version of Ruby you used.

I'd guess you used MRI 1.8.X.

I decided to benchmark other versions(and implementations) of Ruby.

= jruby 1.6.4 (7.3 seconds)

      user     system      total        real
  7.388000   0.000000   7.388000 (  7.349000)
= Rubinius 1.2.4 (Little under 6 seconds)

   user     system      total        real
  5.940015   0.006878   5.946893 (  5.842485)
= CRuby 1.9.2 (38 seconds)

      user     system      total        real
 38.250000   0.090000  38.340000 ( 38.376857)
= CRuby 1.8.7 (Little under 137 seconds)

      user     system      total        real
  136.960000   0.240000 137.200000 (137.437748)
Thanks!

Easily create dynamic and robust sandbox environments from Ruby on OSX.

Through the use of technology found on Apple's Leopard and Snow Leopard operating systems, Dia can create dynamic and robust sandbox environments for applications and for blocks of ruby code. The Ruby API was designed to be simple, and a joy to use. I hope you feel the same way :-)

Thanks for the coverage "there" :-)
