Mac OS X Leopard - Ruby is 3X faster with disable-pthreads

Aryk Grosz

10/26/2008 5:00:00 AM

I have a fast mac pro computer.

I ran simple benchmark, and my computer took 13 seconds when
equal/slower macs around my office were only taking 2.5 seconds to
complete the exact same task.

I also noticed that my ruby was generally less zippier.

So I configure ruby to run WITHOUT pthread support, and now its at the
same speed as the other computers.

I dont really know how this could potentially screw things up, but Im
definitely liking the speed increase. The compiler told me the
following:

**
** PTHREAD SUPPORT MODE ERROR:
**
** Ruby is not compiled with --enable-pthread, but your Tcl/Tk
** library seems to be compiled with pthread support. This
** combination may cause frequent hang or segmentation fault
** errors when Ruby/Tk is working. We recommend that you NEVER
** create the library with such a combination of pthread support.
**
** Please recompile Ruby with the "--enable-pthread" configure option
** or recompile Tcl/Tk with the "--disable-threads" configure option.
**

What Im curious about is, why the big speed difference? Its a night and
day difference in performance. Is there any kind of other performance
issues that I have to watch out for now, like more frequent crashing or
something?

As long as you aren't using tk at all then you have no issue to watch
out for. I compile *all* of my ruby's with pthreads disabled including
all engine yard slices.

You can also recompile "tcl" and "tk" with "pthreads" disabled. I =20
ended up having to run all three of them with pthreads for some other =20
dependency, although I don't remember which one. And I think Ruby 1.9 =20
requires pthreads.

I sent a $350 money order to his wife, got screwed on a FT pf that he
sold right here. Rob anthony (boreguard) went to his house, and we
need to gett him to go there somehow. That 350 lost put me over the
edge. he had me make the MO out to heather Phillips. 1228 key mill.
sheridan AR 72150.
I will pay someone $100 to go there for my pf, or one good hit to the
nose. Who wants to earn this C note?

I have the feeling if anyone goes there to do what you are asking,
shotguns may be involved. Use mapquest with satellite view and you'll
understand.

If there is no money in his account, you are SOL unless you paid with
a direct bank transer or credit card though paypal. If you paid with
a balance, it won't be good.
