Hi-- The developers on our team recently started complaining about the speed of server responses and launching script/console in development mode. Some quick work with "git bisect" indicated it was my commit that switched us from acts_as_solr to thinking_sphinx.
Some benchmarking shows that launching script/console goes from around 6.2 seconds to 9.8 seconds when the TS plugin is installed and the define_index calls in two models are present. Commenting out the define_index calls has no effect; it's the mere presence of the plugin that causes the slowdown. When running script/server, the slowdown happens _before_ Rails is invoked, so the time doesn't show up in the "Completed in 0.01884 (53 reqs/sec)" benchmark lines. Our site makes a number of Ajax calls, so the price per page load is fairly high. This indicates to me that TS is doing something on every request that is slowing things down. From a brief perusal of the two init.rb files, I'm guessing that TS is re-scanning the models directory, which is rather large for our site, and reloading all the models. Since TS is a plugin, I don't expect it to pick up changes without restarting the server, so what's the best way to avoid this performance hit? I've never written a plugin, so I'm unfamiliar with the ins and outs of load-time and dispatch-time hooks. This isn't a concern in production mode, I think, but boy, do we developers complain when things slow down. :-) I appreciate any help.
