How do Ruby's enumerable methods affect performance?

Ruby's enumerable methods provide powerful ways to manipulate collections, but they can impact performance depending on usage.

Can you give examples of methods that might be slower?

Sure! Methods like map and select can be slower on large datasets because they create new arrays.

Are there alternatives to these methods for better performance?

Yes, using each with manual accumulation can be more efficient for large datasets, as it avoids creating intermediate arrays.

What about using inject for performance?

inject can be efficient for reducing collections, but be cautious with large datasets as it can still lead to performance hits.
