  :body: "Sometimes benchmark results are skewed because code executed earlier encounters different garbage collection overheads than that run later. #bmbm attempts to minimize this effect by running the tests twice, the first time as a rehearsal in order to get the runtime environment stable, the second time for real. <tt>GC.start</tt> is executed before the start of each of the real timings; the cost of this is not included in the timings. In reality, though, there's only so much that #bmbm can do, and the results are not guaranteed to be isolated from garbage collection and other effects."
