Distributed Ruby slow startup under Windows XP

Hi,

Running a ruby program under Windows XP shows a slot startup (about
three seconds on my computer), compared to Unix.

I’m running this:

require ‘drb’
DRb.start_service()
obj = DRbObject.new(nil, ‘druby://localhost:9000’)
puts “Client”
puts obj.getflowers

The problem seems to come from “DRb.start_service()”.

Is there anything we can do against this? During startup, CPU is not
saturated at all…

Thanks,
