Comment(by lsansonetti@…):

 This should be a bit faster now after
 https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/commit/be15a06599652f0888e7081a6e4d0b6012506252
 (7 seconds on my machine vs 1.5min). But still not acceptable.

 Obviously this is compilation time, so compiling the gem into .rbo files
 should fix the problem. We cannot pre-compile gems as .rbo yet because the
 debugging metadata is lost, and exceptions would not contain proper
 backtraces. Maybe we should work on that for the upcoming release.
