I somewhat mentioned this [1] when I was running ActiveRecord tests =
under 1.9.2 vs 1.8.7. Someone else mentioned there was a bug fix [2] =
which I can see is applied to both 3-0-stable/2-3-stable. Even though =
after this, I still found 1.9.2 to be way slower. I never did the =
legwork to find out if it was startup time or otherwise.

I just tested a project of mine on rails 3.0.3 under the latest 1.9.2 =
and 1.8.7 and I can confirm your results from the other thread. I can =
see boot times and tests taking twice as long under 1.9.2 vs 1.8.7. I =
too would love to see more investigation and a resolution to this.
