Interesting concept indeed.

Also the naive Rspec timing test confirms "dave_spec.rb" to be faster than
all other contenders
and fairly memory efficient. I presume the naive Rspec timing test is
losing relevance, compared
to more serious Benchmarking tools.

roland_spec.rb  =>   9.14 s  11 loc (1035 MB max RSIZE)
michael_spec.rb =>   8.82 s  13 loc (1044 MB max RSIZE)
peter_spec.rb   =>   5.91 s  30 loc ( 244 MB max RSIZE)
tom_spec.rb     =>  20.05 s   9 loc ( 326 MB max RSIZE)
dominic_spec.rb => 395.   s  14 loc ( 434 MB max RSIZE)
jason_spec.rb   =>  16.21 s  19 loc ( 535 MB max RSIZE)
peter2_spec.rb  =>   5.24 s  42 loc ( 222 MB max RSIZE)
dave_spec.rb    =>   4.82 s  19 loc ( 323 MB max RSIZE)
