3 simple ruby benchmarks
Three simple pure Ruby benchmarks comparing Ruby 1.8.6, Ruby 1.9.2, JRuby 1.5.0dev, MacRuby 0.5, Rubinius 1.0.0-rc1 and MagLev Ruby 0.6 [1]
The benchmarks are run more than once because JRuby is running in server mode and optimizes the code while it is running.
Parse a 98k XML document and count one type of leaf element (466 entries) 100 times [2]
