Subject: Poor performance of Ruby 1.8.7 when installed with MacPorts

Hi,

I've just upgraded to Ruby 1.8.7 using MacPorts (ruby @1.8.7-
p72_1+thread_hooks) and while it runs flawlessly, the performance is
really really poor.

I'm talking in comparison with the Ruby distro that ships with
Leopard, and with my previous installation of 1.8.6 also done with
MacPorts.

For instance a bunch of rspecs i have take 6x to get executed, and ri
takes noticeably more time than previously to load any doc.

Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.
