Various *nixes running Ruby benchmarks

Linux does well, of course. But the big surprise for me was NetBSD. Also surprising is DragonflyBSD's decent showing. I expected OpenSolaris to do a bit better though.

Of course, as with all benchmarks, take these with a grain of salt. 🙂

From here, and here, and I probably saw it a dozen other places.

Did you look at the ruby1.9 benchmarks? I don't care much about the ruby1.8 benchmarks since ruby1.9 is the future. And NetBSD did not do well in the ruby1.9 benchmarks, although I would say OpenBSD did the worse. It's kinda hard to tell though, most of the time OpenBSD trailed a good chunk behind everyone else, but sometimes it also nearly matched the best. OpenSolaris spent a lot of time in a strong first, but also a lot of time second-to-last. Linux spent some time way out in first, and it also spent some time second to last, but the second to last place was almost always just a short amount away from first.

In the end, I guess you just have to remember that there are lies, damn lies, and benchmarks.

No, I didn't check them out. So much ruby code out there is pretty much just starting to migrate to 1.9 I've kind of ignored it so far. 😛

Of course. And we have no idea if these are "problems" with ruby or the operating system.
