copied!<p>Startup time appears to be killing you, so you and I are probably in the same boat. Between Jodell and Dark Castle a lot of this is covered already, but here's my nearly-whole list of things that helped, in descending order of efficacy.</p> <ol> <li>Get a patched 1.9.3 with the 2.0 filesystem improvements backported. The first gets 2x better numbers but I'm using the second because I felt the first was unstable <ul> <li><a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/thecodeshop/WVA4N2lJoM4" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/thecodeshop/WVA4N2lJoM4</a></li> <li><a href="https://raw.github.com/gist/3242245/5cdb932c0a544cfbb51fdee5759942d4d2c263f5/1-complete.diff" rel="nofollow">https://raw.github.com/gist/3242245/5cdb932c0a544cfbb51fdee5759942d4d2c263f5/1-complete.diff</a></li> </ul></li> <li>Set your GC options <ul> <li><a href="http://snaprails.tumblr.com/post/241746095/rubys-gc-configuration" rel="nofollow">http://snaprails.tumblr.com/post/241746095/rubys-gc-configuration</a> (I'm using the last one)</li> </ul></li> <li>Turn off collecting coverage data (My IDE kept volunteering this)</li> <li>Run Spork, and <code>set SPEC_OPTS=--drb</code> </li> <li>Turn off virus scanner (don't actually do this, it's only worth 10% for me anyway)</li> <li>Double-check your Gems, delaying the loading of gems with require: false</li> </ol> <p>6 didn't actually buy me very much. The biggest thing we had wrong was loading Thin unconditionally (which pulls in Eventmachine, which 21 megabytes installed), but the next 3 on the stack were actually being used by RSpec. I have not looked at network traffic, but Jodell is probably on to something there.</p>
