They need to know about this! You are here trolling on the Ruby lists Jochen? Don't you have some Groovy bugs to be fixing? :) The server VM starts up a lot slower on most systems, which is the reason for this test to be invalid. And in general, any benchmark under 5-10s is going to be a pretty poor test of JRuby performance, since the code might not even get compiled or optimized on such a short run. - Charlie
