A Ruby gem that enhances the standard Benchmark library with iterations-per-second (IPS) benchmarking. It automatically determines appropriate iteration counts for short code snippets and provides statistical comparisons between benchmarked blocks.

Use cases

• benchmark ruby code snippets in iterations per second
• compare performance of two implementations
• measure how many times per second a block runs
• avoid guessing iteration counts when benchmarking
• generate statistical comparison reports for code benchmarks

When to choose

• you need reliable Ruby micro-benchmarks with warmup and statistical error margins
• you want to compare the speed of alternative code implementations
• short code snippets make traditional time-based benchmarking unreliable

When to avoid

• you need to benchmark full applications or long-running processes rather than snippets
• you are not working in Ruby
• you need profiling with memory allocation details rather than throughput
