Hello ruby people, I've tried to make some speed test in ruby to find out how fast is searching in hash (using has_key?) The results were OK but I discovered curious thing -- when i generate big hash the speed is different when i unserialize (marshal.load) the same hash. Unserialized Hash is 1.5x faster in has_key? method. Tried it with GC.disable as well, results were same. What am I missing? Thanx for any ideas
