[ruby slower than perl?]

i noticed that windows ruby is by far slower than linux one. i had a speech 
in class about Gaussian algorithm which i implemented in ruby, and then i 
implemented Cramer's rule, too, and wanted to show my class the speed 
difference. but my benchmark didnt want to finish at school on the windows 
version. even when i reduced the data to the square root, it ran much 
longer than at home.
