I finally tracked it down to a bug in win32.c (= http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5325). Great. Then I tried to build rub= y from source using VS2008, which I did. Great. Then I discovered that my u= nit test that fires off thousands of little processes takes about 500ms to = run each process where it used to take a few milliseconds. The even weirder= thing is that every now and again when I run it it goes at normal speed, b= ut only occasionally. WTF? I've spent all day on this and I'm starting to t= ear my hair out. Any ideas what could account for this? Cheers, James --_000_950618E0D00138499BE7CC487EBF646D66FF123AD3WOODCHUCKNMlo_--
