am i understanding the option being described here as manually forcing a pre-compile of .rb gems to .rbo cached to the gems directory (with caveats like no backtrace, ymmv)? anybody working on a generic (system-wide or per-user or configurable?) cache of arbitrary .rb -> .rbo similar to how rubyinline works, where llvm intermediaries being built are automatically cached and invalidated when the associated/underlying .rb changes? i would be interested to help if somebody is already in-flight with that, or take a stab it if nobody is -- lmk pls. thx, n@ On Fri, May 20, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Mark Rada <mrada@marketcircle.com> wrote:
Rspec 2.6 works on the macruby nightly builds.
Load times are partly due to rubygems being very slow on MacRuby and rspec being split into 4 gems (plus one other external gem).
The other problem is that you have to JIT all the code at run time; you should be able to cut the load time in half by compiling rspec and its dependencies, but that has a couple of caveats right now, you can read more about it in the README for my rubygems plugin:
https://github.com/ferrous26/rubygems-compile
Also, there are a couple of issues in the macruby trac related to slow gem loading time. You may wish to add a comment there about rspec.

Christian,
Reverting to Rspec 2.5 allowed rspec to run under macruby (so far.) However, it is extremely slow compared to running under system ruby. it takes 10+ seconds to run just an empty test and pegs out one of my cores to do so.
Macruby should run faster than the system ruby 1.8.7 so I think I've still got a Macruby problem somewhere. Guess I need to do another post.
