Unfortunately I don't have a Rails project handy that builds on both 1.8 and 1.9, but here are the results for a pure Ruby project: https://gist.github.com/939981
As you can see, the build times are nearly identical across 1.8.7, REE, 1.9.2 and 1.9.3-dev (I'm using RSpec 2.6.0.rc2). Are you seeing the build slow down in direct correlation to the number of tests you're running? What I've seen is that the delay is constant and a function of the number of files being required and not the number of tests, so the more tests you have, the closer the build times should be on 1.8.7 and 1.9.2. Of course, this can make running a single spec on 1.9.2 irritatingly slow - one of the projects at my workplace that has a largish codebase had to start using spork after upgrading to 1.9.2 because what used to be an acceptable delay to run a single spec on 1.8.7 became excessive on 1.9.2.
