[QUOTE="javachallenge, post: 4497680"]
I am using Windows, and I was testing the profiler with the simple
sieve.rb program.

I may not have a good understanding of Ruby's profiler but It seems
that it gives me wrong percentages... I guess it is due to the overhead
of the profiler while the process is not too much cpu bound. However if
it shows wrong percentages, to me it's still a bug.

So according to the output below, 100% of the time is gone with
Profiler__.start_profile, while 51.61% is gone with Numeric#step. All
this totaling 151.61%!
Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance. I am such a newbie :-) JC
