I've tried using ruby-prof with rspec a number of times - both to test spec speed, and to assert things about app speed as well and it was very painful. Because of the way rspec builds up it's sets of examples and everything you end up with a very muddy call tree profile it's really tricky to get anything meaningful out of it. My next avenue of exploration (when i get some free time) will to open up rspec and add hooks to start stop ruby-prof at will, so it will only show me my own example code rather than all that rspec guff. -jb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
