Hi  
As a part of rearranging the code I put my reports in the folder  
app/models/reports and loaded that using config.load\_paths Is there any  
performance issue in doing this? Is this the right approach? or I have  
to put all the files in reports to app/models so to avoid  
config.load\_paths #{folder} I expect your valuable comments

Thanks

Hi

For more clarification, what I am asking is creating subdiretories  
under app/models and load\_them using config.load\_paths … Is this  
creates any performance issue?
