<br>
Load times are partly due to rubygems being very slow on MacRuby and rspec being split into 4 gems (plus one other external gem).<br>
<br>
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:<br>

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.<br>

&gt; 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.<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt; Macruby should run faster than the system ruby 1.8.7 so I think I&#39;ve still got a Macruby problem somewhere. Guess I need to do another post.<br>
