Hey,

I've noticed the same problem on my Windows XP installation, so I
switched to Linux (SuSE 10.1) and haven't looked back since!
Posting to the rails list might help, someone there will most likely
have solved it by now...

rubyonrails-talk@googlegroups.com

Also, I noticed stopping/starting the server seems to help. Not a
solution, but it'll save you that 5+ minutes between page refreshes!

Cheery-o
