That depends on your definition of fast and slow… Let's just say, that I didn't realize any speedproblems with windows, because years ago many other problems made me switch to linux.
With linux I have TAB-complete for rake, rails, rspec, rvm and many other auxiliary tools via zsh-plugins. I never had any problems when I had to compile gems with native extensions (but with windows I had!). But I probably think that some speed isues could be because of the rails version you use. In a german ruby chat it is often mentioned that 1.8 and 1.9 are very slow but 2.0 is faster (but still slower than in linux) 2013/5/22 Wins Lin <[email protected]> > There is a lot of questions on Stackoverflow about how Rails is slow in > command line on Windows machines.
