	A little question :)

	I have probed the examples occur.rb and occur.pl with a big file (~
	2.5 Mb). The difference is enormous between Perl and Ruby (~4 s vs.
	~15 s).

	My question is: can this patch resolv situation making Ruby a bit
	faster in this case?.

	Thanx for very good work to everybody.

	Greets.
