The unit # of time is seconds. # # * Do some experiments sequentially using the #bm method: # # require 'benchmark' # # n = 50000 # Benchmark.bm do |x| # x.report { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end } # x.report { n.times do ; a = "1"; end } # x.report { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end } # end # # The result: # # user system total real # 1.033333 0.016667 1.016667 ( 0.492106) # 1.483333 0.000000 1.483333 ( 0.694605) # 1.516667 0.000000 1.516667 ( 0.711077) # # * Continuing the previous example, put a label in each report: # # require 'benchmark' # # n = 50000 # Benchmark.bm(7) do |x| # x.report("for:") { for i in 1..n; a = "1"; end } # x.report("times:") { n.times do ; a = "1"; end } # x.report("upto:") { 1.upto(n) do ; a = "1"; end } # end # # The result: # # user system total real # for: 1.050000 0.000000 1.050000 ( 0.503462) # times: 1.533333 0.016667 1.550000 ( 0.735473) # upto: 1.500000 0.016667 1.516667 ( 0.711239) # # # * The times for some benchmarks depend on the order in which items # are run.
