What is it? When the developers to fix this?

You have not said which version of Ruby. I think I saw that 1.9.2 is
faster on Windows than 1.8.7, but the opposite is true on Ubuntu.

Ruby 1.8.7, Checked 1.9.2, saw no difference at all. Webrick starts 40
seconds.

My understanding is that the underlying problem is that ruby itself is
slower on windows (not by such large factors overall though). The
rails community as a whole doesn’t use windows much so it doesn’t get
a lot of love. I think the jruby folk have been putting a lot of
effort into windows support though.

This looks like the ideal time to switch to Ubuntu (or similar) then.
I took the plunge some time ago (setting up a dual boot on my PC so I
could still boot into windows) and now only find myself using it
Windows very occasionally. It is great to feel in control of ones
machine again, not to mention the increase in performance all round.
No need for virus scanner for example.
Alternatively I gather that Virtual Rails, which provides a Linux
Rails environment on a virtual machine in Windows is good.

Frankly I do not want to go to Linux because I will not miss the
editor Photoshop and Gimp for me is not quite acceptable.
Who uses a Linux?

Then I advise either using a Linux VM (if you really need Windows
applications) or, better, getting a Mac.
Rails development on Windows is, by all accounts, painful. Why do it?
Who uses a Linux?
I do for servers, but not as a desktop OS. I think Mac OS is much nicer
to use than Linux and has better application support.

Most of us here I suspect. Anyway there is no need to switch
completely. You can either dual boot or use it in a virtual machine
(as VirtualRails).
[OT]Google suggests that Photoshop may run in Wine under Ubuntu.

You are right, I was incorrectly lumping Mac OS in with Linux. Whilst
Mac OS is, I think, Unix based it is not Linux.
I suspect there are more Linux users here than there are Windows
however.

At home, I dual boot Win7 Pro (home stuff and fun stuff) and Ubuntu
10.04 (Rails development work) since the machine is mine to control.
At work (i.e., not mine to control), I run Ubuntu 10.04 in a VM on top
of Win7 Enterprise.
Have done Rails development under both Ubuntu/Linux and Windows to
compare, and the Windows experience finished in a distant second place.
Ubuntu in a VM > Windows native.

I suspect you are wrong. Linux is a great server OS, but most Rails
developers I know (myself included) prefer Mac OS (which is BSD, not
Linux) as a desktop environment.

Absolutely! If you need training wheels go with the Apple OS.
When you are ready, reward yourself. Install and develop on the same
Linux distro that you will be deploying to.
More bang for your buck. Fewer surprises. Less to learn. It’s the
future, now.
Ubuntu 10.10 on my servers, desktop, and notebook!
It’s just better™.

It’s not a question of training wheels. I can use Linux just fine on
the desktop. I don’t enjoy it, so I don’t do it.

I don’t consider using desktop Linux instead of Mac OS a “reward”. And
I’ve never had a compatibility issue between my Darwin dev environment
and my Ubuntu servers. That just doesn’t happen in my experience.

If I thought it were better, believe me, I’d be using it. But I don’t.
From a UI perspective alone, I’d almost sooner use Windows.

you can use vs2010 recompile the source code.
i test it faster than rubyinstaller.

Which happens to be certified UNIX
