Hey guys,

I’m a coauthor of a Rails plugin that patches a few things to make  
development mode almost as fast as production mode (while still  
reloading classes and templates).

Check it out on GitHub: [GitHub - thedarkone/rails-dev-boost: Speed up slow Rails development mode](https://github.com/thedarkone/rails-dev-boost)

Unfortunately it is only compatible with Rails 2.2 (checkout the  
master branch of the plugin) or Rails 2.3 i.e. v2.3.0 tag (checkout  
the rails-2-3 branch of the plugin). Those of you still running 2.1  
now finally have the real [sic!] incentive to upgrade :).

Cheers,  
thedarkone.
