由rubychan.de給出的評分，可以看到YARV有著大幅的性能提升。<ref>[http://www.rubychan.de/share/yarv_speedups.html Benchmarks: Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9] {{Wayback|url=http://www.rubychan.de/share/yarv_speedups.html |date=20070105162940 }} (rubychan.de)</ref> 而Antonio Cangiano 給出的評分顯示，平均起來YARV比原來的解譯器要快3倍。<ref>{{cite web | url=http://antoniocangiano.com/2007/12/03/the-great-ruby-shootout/ | title=The Great Ruby Shootout | date=2007-03-12 | last=Cangiano | first=Antonio | accessdate=2008-02-01 | archive-date=2012-02-23 | archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/65etwmYdr?url=http://programmingzen.com/2007/12/03/the-great-ruby-shootout/ | dead-url=no }}</ref> 兩個評分給出的都是綜合性的結果。

據報導，在YARV上執行的Ruby on Rails 比在1.8.6上執行要快15%<ref>{{cite web

 |quote       = ''When benchmarking basic requests with a minimalistic schema (only one int column), even though YARV serviced requests 15% faster, it took much longer to load the environment (50% slower). This comes as no surprise since plain old (evil) eval is slower in YARV(...)In fact, the mere fact of requiring active_record (and indirectly ActiveSupport) causes a sharp decrease in performance.''
