Subject: Ruby crawling on a Win2003 Server

I have an application that makes heavy use of ActiveRecord to fetch data 
and publish to files. When running on my local machine (a laptop with 
WinXP) I produce 1-2 files per second which is perfectly acceptable. 
When running in the production environment (a Windows 2003 server with 
double processors and mucho memory) it crawls. It takes about 30 seconds 
  to produce each file (using the same dataset although running on 
different db servers (localhost (which is contextual...) MySQL 4.1.x in 
both cases)).

Is there anyone who has any idea of what might be going on? Any 
profiling tips for a Ruby noob?

Ruby 1.8.2 is used.

Thanks
