I thought I’d try the numbers under JRuby and my trunk Ruby 1.9 too:

~/NetBeansProjects/jruby $ time jruby -J-server test.rb
1.3178402345057376e+24

real 1m7.536s
user 1m5.026s
sys 0m2.143s
~/NetBeansProjects/jruby $ time ../ruby1.9/ruby test.rb
1.31784023450574e+24

real 1m8.436s
user 1m7.388s
sys 0m0.358s

JRuby comes out a little faster here, but I think it can be improved more.
