Acunote/Nimble Method Patches Speeding up Ruby on Rails
The new Ruby on Rails patches by Acunote/Nimble Method are speeding up Ruby on Rails by a claimed 5X… a friend of mine tried just the ActiveRecord::Base change and reported this:
Yup. I actually just did the ActiveRecord::Base change alone and got a good boost. The code change is pretty solid too. That led me to seriously look at some other code as well. If you happen to use the actsasmodified plugin anywhere, let me know, I have a simple fix for it as well. Between those two patches, my tests run about 20% faster.
