Why is rails3 so slow to initialize?

I am running 1.9.1 which I know is known to give some rails3 issues.  
Can that be the reason? Here’s a very very basic test.

$ rvm 1.9.1@rails2  
$ rails new\_rails2  
$ cd new\_rails2  
$ time ./script/runner ‘’  
real 0m1.583s

$ rvm 1.9.1@rails3  
$ rails new\_rails3  
$ cd new\_rails3  
$ time rails runner ‘’  
real 0m5.793s
