The numbers on the post are for "3.6" (I did ruby-install rbx 3.6). Sorry, I thought 3.60 & 3.6 were the same thing :)

Maybe you can just confirm those numbers are actually 3.60. I thought I saw “3.6” in the post before.

Not sure what’s going on there. Is there anything I can do to find out?

Here is some additional info in case it helps:

llvm-config –version: 3.5.2
clang version: 3.8.1

I just noticed your numbers for Rubinius 3.60 are way off too. Why is that? MRI was almost more than 1.5x faster for me.

Ahhh that could explain it. Depending on how the virtualization is done, the JVM can have degraded performance. Thanks!
