Rails environment suuuper slow

Rails
1

ever since i started using rails 3 everything take ages to load, and
no one seems to know the reason

ubuntu 10.04
rvm
ruby 1.9.2
rails 3.0.1

and i get this

time rspec spec/models/user_spec.rb
…

Finished in 0.80685 seconds
3 examples, 0 failures

real 0m19.700s
user 0m18.045s
sys 0m1.332s

as you can see the test takes less than a second but the process takes
20 seconds, this is driving me crazy.
