Hey all! I wanted to see if there's been any progress getting plugins to load only when using the 'gem' command. Currently, because they're loaded at the bottom of rubygems.rb, every app that needs rubygems incurs a massive startup hit to scan for plugins in all installed gems. On JRuby, on my system with 500+ gems installed, this takes several seconds.
I have been recommending that users sensitive to this startup hit comment out that code or move it to gem_runner.rb, which gets loaded directly from the gem command. I talked with James Tucker about the status, and he said I should check here. He also said he thought this move had been attempted, but that it broke something else. We're hoping to ship JRuby 1.6 RCs in the next couple weeks, and it would be really great if we could include some fix for the plugin startup hit. So, what's up? - Charlie _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
