Measure and Benchmark Time for Ruby Methods

You could use the Time object. (Time Docs)

For example,

start = Time.now# code to timefinish = Time.nowdiff = finish - start

diff would be in seconds, as a floating point number.

EDIT: end is reserved.

The simplest way:

require 'benchmark'def foo time = Benchmark.measure {  code to test } puts time.real #or save it to logsend

Sample output:

2.2.3 :001 > foo  5.230000   0.020000   5.250000 (  5.274806)

Values are: cpu time, system time, total and real elapsed time.

Use Benchmark's Report

require 'benchmark' # Might be necessary.def foo  Benchmark.bm( 20 ) do |bm|  # The 20 is the width of the first column in the output.    bm.report( "Access Database:" ) do       # Code to access database.    end       bm.report( "Access Redis:" ) do      # Code to access redis.    end  endend

This will output something like the following:

                        user     system      total        realAccess Database:    0.020000   0.000000   0.020000 (  0.475375)Access Redis:       0.000000   0.000000   0.000000 (  0.000037)<------ 20 -------> # This is where the 20 comes in. NOTE: This is not shown in output.
