Looks like eval runs faster...

            Rate as usual  with do
as usual 63091/s       --     -29%
with do  88496/s      40%       --

             Rate with eval  as usual
with eval 59773/s        --       -9%
as usual  65359/s        9%        --

No, it doesn't look like that.

In one run "with do" was 40% faster than "as usual", while in the second run, "with eval" iswas 9% slower than "as usual".

The "Rate" shows you how many times the specific routine could be run per time unit, so in this case, runs per second.

What makes you think, that the eval-solution runs faster? ;)

BTW, you can do comparisons with more than two subroutines. So you can do one run and compare all three (or more) routines.
