From: Roger Pack Date: 2009-08-09T01:45:57+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:24824] 1.9 gem env is far slower than on 1.8? Currently when I run "gem env" on a windows machine with 1.8.6 it takes [~80 gems installed] real 0m0.360s with 1.9.1 [~80 gems] real 0m1.610s with 1.9.2 [~40 gems] real 0m1.140s [all with 1.3.5 installed] Not so for Linux--1.9.2 seems slightly faster than 1.8.6 for its gem list. Anybody have any inkling as to what's going on here? Thanks! -r
