Hi all, I finally figured out the problem (weird tough).
It happens to be that I was using also (from the calling top-level program) the following call: load_assembly "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel I don't have the reason why this happened, but just by moving those calls to a place after the ----------------------- require 'db_lib.rb' ----------------------- that called the (previously) slow "connect" call, the time went from 14 seconds to 1 second (or less) My guess about the problem may be that by including the Microsoft::Office::Interop::Excel the ironruby adds a huge quantity of objects to inspect for a "method_missing" that works in the active_record gem, specially in the establish_connection method. Could my guess be correct? Regards to all!!! and keep working with IronRuby, IT ROCKS!!!
