I read these numbers wrong; the compiled local break performance is 0.046, around 5 times faster than MRI. The non-local break performance is still slower, however, so I'll look into that.

We'll look to fix this after 1.1, since it's not really a huge issue.

Here's updated numbers; still slower than MRI for non-local breaks, but it has improved in the compiled case. Interpreted still seems to have some performance issues:

jruby compiled:
                                              user     system      total        real

five whiles with blocks that break        0.593000   0.000000   0.593000 (  0.593634)
jruby interpreted:
                                              user     system      total        real
control, five short while loops           0.078000   0.000000   0.078000 (  0.077959)
control, five whiles with blocks          0.256000   0.000000   0.256000 (  0.255260)
five whiles that break                    0.299000   0.000000   0.299000 (  0.299437)
five whiles with blocks that break        1.112000   0.000000   1.112000 (  1.112932)
MRI:
                                              user     system      total        real
control, five short while loops           0.150000   0.000000   0.150000 (  0.162975)
control, five whiles with blocks          0.350000   0.010000   0.360000 (  0.353873)
five whiles that break                    0.230000   0.000000   0.230000 (  0.234755)
five whiles with blocks that break        0.460000   0.000000   0.460000 (  0.481575)

The bad case at this point is really just the while loop with a breaking block. Still an issue, but better.

As of 1.2, this seems to be a non-issue in the compiler:

                                              user     system      total        real
control, five short while loops           0.010000   0.000000   0.010000 (  0.009846)
control, five whiles with blocks          0.124000   0.000000   0.124000 (  0.124394)
five whiles that break                    0.011000   0.000000   0.011000 (  0.010870)
five whiles with blocks that break        0.328000   0.000000   0.328000 (  0.328391)

And pretty good in the interpreter:

                                              user     system      total        real
control, five short while loops           0.043000   0.000000   0.043000 (  0.042733)
control, five whiles with blocks          0.157000   0.000000   0.157000 (  0.156774)
five whiles that break                    0.171000   0.000000   0.171000 (  0.171438)
five whiles with blocks that break        0.627000   0.000000   0.627000 (  0.627163)

When compared to MRI:

                                              user     system      total        real
control, five short while loops           0.120000   0.000000   0.120000 (  0.115604)
control, five whiles with blocks          0.250000   0.000000   0.250000 (  0.253488)
five whiles that break                    0.170000   0.000000   0.170000 (  0.212932)
five whiles with blocks that break        0.360000   0.000000   0.360000 (  0.365677)

We'll call this resolved and look for future performance reports on specific real-world cases.
