Benchmarking Ruby Exception Handling

Effectif Development’s Grahm Ashton wrote up a brief, but informative summary of why you should leave Ruby exceptions strictly for exceptional situations. He found that this type of implementation can easily run several times slower - by nearly an order of magnitude - than using simple if-else conditionals. His summary, tests, and benchmark results can be found over the post.
