The require function in 1.9.2 gets significantly lower with the number of directories in the load path and the number of already required files. 1.9.3 is miles better in this respect, and in either version makes no difference once the app is up and running (still annoying in development though). You'll also use more memory, the more code you have loaded (although the fact that it's in a gem rather than being your code makes no difference)
