Step 4 : Are there other Ruby MRI programs for these benchmarks?
Remember - those are just the fastest Ruby MRI and Java 6 -Xint programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are other implementations of these benchmark programs for Ruby MRI.
Maybe one of those other Ruby MRI programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.
Step 5 : Are there other faster programs for these benchmarks?
Remember - those are just the fastest Ruby MRI and Java 6 -Xint programs measured on this OS/machine. Check if there are faster implementations of these benchmark programs for other programming languages.
Maybe one of those other programs is fastest on a different OS/machine.
