333% Test Speedup

333% Test Speedup

  1. Normal Rails setup: 30 seconds for rake test
  2. Using 1.9.3-falcon: 22 seconds
  3. Using merged task w/ db reset: 16 seconds
  4. Using merged task w/o db reset: 12 seconds
  5. Using raw ruby execution: 9 seconds

You can run rake test:fast:db to get a merged run that resets your db. However, if you have clean tests that don't pollute the db between runs, you can just run rake test:fast and it will omit db:reset. This means your sequence numbers (under PostgreSQL, at least) may keep increasing, but if you tests against those I have other words for you.

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

ruby-1.9.3-p327 cumulative performance patch for rbenv

This installs a patched ruby 1.9.3-p327 with various performance improvements and a backported COW-friendly GC, all courtesy of funny-falcon.

Requirements

You will also need a C Compiler. If you're on Linux, you probably already have one or know how to install one. On OS X, you should install XCode, and brew install autoconf using homebrew.

A better Rakefile for rails?
#!/usr/bin/env rake
# Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,
# for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be available to Rake.
#Load all the tasks in lib/tasks
