Hi,
I have been looking into why 'gem update' has been taking hours and
hours on my computer to complete. Given that it's only a 700Mhz machine
with 512MB RAM I still didn't think that would qualify it for such slow
updates. Also, a normal system update, i.e. ArchLinux's pacman updates,
takes only a minute to download and parse. So, I started playing around
with the source and boiled everything down to the YAML.load call in
source_index.rb. Later I found out that this was already being
discussed in a few posts [0][1] on this mailing list. Ryan D., thanks a
lot for removing the reduce_specs call [1] because that helped with the
performance. Unfortunately, the problem is still there.
I have looked through the mailing list archive and seen some other
threads but can't figure out where this issue currently stands. Is
there already a plan for rectifying this?
Thanks!
Farhan
