Yeh I know, but have you actually tried it out and got benchmarks to prove that 1.9.3 is fast enough? I've been trying for the last few weeks to get the rails test cycle going as quickly as possible. I'd like to be using 1.9.x but its just been to slow. I've tried fast_require patches, done lots of googling, used rvm to try different versions etc. etc.. Currently the Rails test cycle is much faster in 1.8.7 - and for me the speed of the test cycle is the most important thing. Using rvm I can always run the app on 1.9.x in CI and production (so long as I create it using 1.8.x). Even using 1.8.7 the time to run a model spec is a couple of seconds, which really is still to slow, but its bearable. As soon as this becomes 4 or 5 seconds then my style of programming has to change, and I don't want that. If you have some uber fast version of 1.9.3 working reliably with Rails 3.1.x and RVM running a single spec on an empty rails project in less than 2 seconds - please point me in that direction with a link to the particular patch/article/whatever.
