I'm not sure how tied you are to rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8, but possibly use this as an opportunity to upgrade to the current standard tech? Ruby 1.9.2 is pretty much rock solid, and rails 3.0.3 is running very very well now.
As for local development time, what kind of system are you running this on, and has it always been this slow? I'm disappointed to see more than 100ms response times on my local dev environment, even running WEBrick (because I tend to be too lazy to change "rails s") and I'm only on a poor Athlon X2 QL-65 on my laptop, which is little better than a Celeron. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
