The remote one spends 13sec loading yaml and about 22sec downloading the rake gem, and between 10 and 20 secs starting up. Also, remember that we still have that thread stupidity in downloading that Charles have talked about. I haven't found what's causing RDoc to be so intolerably slow, but I guess that there is one spot where we can fix that too. I hope so. =) I guess you wonder how I've achieved this. There were two big bottlenecks for this this. The first was in Zlib::GzipReader and the second in IOInputStream (which is a InputStream-wrapper for Ruby IO-like objects). Both of these were really slow. There was a reason for this; they were VERY hard to get right. Using RubyStrings as repositories for bytes is a tricky business. So, I've improved IOInputStream (and I have a few ideas for improving it further), and rewritten GzipReader in Java, and with a good implementation at that. I will do the same with GzipWriter, clean up the code a little bit and then post it here. Probably in max one day.
