Subject: Installing ri documentation SLOW (Windows)

Hi,

When I install new GEMs the ri doc installs are taking forever. I am
waiting now over 10 minutes on actionpack-3.2.3 ri documentation to
install.

I am running Ruby 1.9.3. My machine is Windows 7 x64, 2500k (fast) with
8GB RAM.

I always have problems with documentation installs. Previously I got
loads of UTF-8 errors, wiped the whole thing and started again.

It's going on 15 minutes now for this and I think I am going to ctrl_c
it.

How come Ruby on Windows is such a mess? I use the proper windows
installer, but still it is a nightmare getting up and running on rails.

I have VM Workstation. Would it just be quicker running all this in a
virtual machine in Linux?
