Subject: slow ruby execution on FreeBSD

Howdy, 

Total green-horn here.  A few weeks ago, a test website we were bulding (on 
freebsd with mysql) slowed waaaay down. 

I **believe** I have the problem narrowed down to this line of code in 
/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:
configuration.frameworks.each { |framework| require(framework.to_s) } 

I Say I think I've got it narrowed doen to this line of code, because I have 
it flanked by puts "AAA" and puts "BBB", and whenever I execute:
config/environment.rb
there is a ~6 second pause between AAA and BBB to STDOUT. 

Like I've said (and I'm sure you would have realized by now), I am a total 
greenhorn here, but:
1) Is this pause to be expected, or have I stumbled upon the issue?
2) What does this line (configuration.frameworks.each { |framework| 
require(framework.to_s) }) mean?  Can someone point me to the next file/line 
to look?
3) Any ideas? 

I really appreciate it!
Guy
