I’m pretty sure you use debug mode in the C# code.
in release mode, it takes practically 0 seconds (in my core i7).

@Chris – yes, I agree that it would be interesting to re-run the tests at some point.

I believe that testing was reasonably accurate at the time. Please do check the article date

had someone else run your Ruby code as is on OSX, ran in under 2 minutes. Still slow, but a far cry from your 3861 seconds. Something is wrong with your computer dude, or you need to learn how to do testing.

Why not make two bechmarks, one for compiled languages and one for interpreted ones?
