Hi All,
At the risk of starting a major flame war and giving Java player-haters
more fuel for their ire, I''ve done a performance comparison between
Ruby/Odeum and Lucene:

Please don''t take this as a "Java sucks Ruby rulez" posting,
or that
I''ve done any sort of scientific analysis here. I''m a
professional Java
developer so I''m agnostic about the language wars. It''s
simply intended
to answer a common question I get related to Ruby/Odeum.
For the people who can''t or won''t read, the test is informal
and shows
that Ruby/Odeum is about 10 times faster when doing a search.
Comments are welcome.
