Any data on performance?

[kurko]

Do you any benchmarks to share? I’m curious how slow it is (I bet it is because Ruby), but I’m mostly curious about the usage of GSL and how much it improves in performance.

Hey @kurko,

There's a tiny benchmark method in the Rakefile:

eps/Rakefile

Line 13 in 2c83a97

task :benchmark do

On my machine, GSL runs 10x faster than pure Ruby.

I haven't benchmarked it against other languages and haven't spend much time optimizing performance.

👍 thanks.

I'll keep this on the radar and if performance isn't a huge bottleneck, I might try in an upcoming project.
