It's worth mentioning that in order to implement non-local flow control, IronRuby has to use exceptions just like JRuby. And any benchmarks involving exceptions or non-local flow control are far slower on IronRuby than on even the C version of Ruby. JRuby is consistently a lot faster on all such benchmarks, largely because the cost of exceptions is so low on the JVM. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
