Description

I recently installed Ruby 3.3.0, and noticed that some of my scripts that use Ractors started to struggle with performance. After doing some benchmarks, I noticed that, while Ractors seem to be working well on Ruby 3.2.2, they're not working properly on 3.3.0.

I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

Here is the benchmark code:

# frozen_string_literal: true

require 'benchmark'

Ractor.new { :warmup } if defined?(Ractor)

Benchmark.bmbm do |x|
  x.report("Thread: ") do
    threads = []
    8.times do |i|
      threads << Thread.new do
        20000000.times do |j|
          ((i * 20000000) + j)**2
        end
      end
    end
    threads.each(&:join)
  end
  x.report("Ractor: ") do
    ractors = []
    0..8.times do |i|
      ractors << Ractor.new(i) do |k|
        20000000.times do |j|
          ((k * 20000000) + j)**2
        end
      end
    end
    ractors.map(&:take)
  end
end
