I’m having trouble for some reason finding information about the  
scripts in script/performance (benchmarker, profiler, request).

I know how to use the Ruby Benchmark class to do isolated  
measurements, but does Rails have a facility for running all of my  
tests (unit, or functional, or all), and letting me know what are the  
(say) top 10 methods that are taking the longest?

I don’t want to optimize everything. I’m figuring there are just a  
few bottlenecks that are slowing everything down.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
