In this document, tests were modified to use Hpricot.XML instead of the default HTML parser. Also, REXML was left out since it was already tested in the first version of this document. Furthermore, we also used Hpricot 0.7 instead of the previous .6.X releases. Tests were conducted on a 2.4ghz Aluminum Macbook with 4gb of RAM.
Tests were run at N=5 to get a clearer picture of the differences between the various gems. At N=2, tests were pretty close, which indicated that a larger sample was needed.
