The performance difference is in startup, not execution. Code load and reload (during dev) slower on Windows than Linux, and is due how Ruby C code is implemented.

I've blogged about my presentation at RubyConf Argentina: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/11/26/rubyconf-argentina-and-fenix/ (Sorry, slides are in spanish) And someone blogged about the work I mention there before: http://itreallymatters.net/post/12897174267/speedup-ruby-1-9-3-on-windows Cheers, -- Luis Lavena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
