[ruby-core:116558] [Ruby master Bug#19461] Time.local performance tanks in forked process (on macOS only?)

Issue #19461 has been updated by [e-mail] (Lars Vonk).


Hi, we are running into the same issue when developing so I was wondering if you got any response on the Apple bug report? Or found a workaround?

----------------------------------------
Bug #19461: Time.local performance tanks in forked process (on macOS only?)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19461#change-106575

* Author: ioquatix (Samuel Williams)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The following program demonstrates a performance regression in forked child processes when invoking `Time.local`:

```ruby
require 'benchmark'
require 'time'

def sir_local_alot
  result = Benchmark.measure do
    10_000.times do
      tm = ::Time.local(2023)
    end
  end
  $stderr.puts result
end

sir_local_alot

pid = fork do
  sir_local_alot
end

Process.wait(pid)
```

On Linux the performance is similar, but on macOS, the performance is over 100x worse on my M1 laptop.
