Description

miniruby has fewer objects and a smaller heap than the normal "ruby",
benchmarks that are affected by GC performance is skewed heavily.
This is most noticeable with the vm3_gc benchmark using the same
Ruby revision/build but different executables (miniruby vs ruby):

$ make
$ make install
$ make benchmark-each ITEM=vm3_gc
ruby ../benchmark/driver.rb -v
--executables="ruby; ./miniruby -I../lib -I. -I.ext/common ../tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- --disable-gems"
--pattern=vm3_gc --directory=../benchmark
total: 1 trial(s) (1 trial(s) for 1 benchmark(s))
