Excessive use of CPU

Hello guys and girls, I have a problem with a method (new), it is using 100% of CPU for 15/20 seconds. Follow the method below:

http://pastie.org/537568

## kits_controller.rb def new   @page_title = 'Add a Kit'   @kit = Kit.new

  @num_itens = 16   @kit_inclusions = Array.new   @num_itens.times { @kit_inclusions.push(KitInclusion.new) }

    render :action => 'form' end

def new_do   kit = Kit.new(params[:form])

  if kit.save     params[:kit_inclusions].each do |ki|       next if ki[:product_id].empty?

      kit_inclusion = KitInclusion.new(ki)       kit_inclusion.kit_id = kit.id       kit_inclusion.save     end

    flash[:notice] = 'Kit added!'     redirect_to :action => 'index'   else     flash[:notice] = kit.errors.full_messages.map {|fm| "<li>#{fm}</

"}

    redirect_to :action => 'new'   end end

## form.hmtl.erb <% form_for :form, @kit, :url => { :action => action_do } do |f| -%>     <% @num_itens.times do |t| -%>   <% fields_for "kit_inclusions", @kit_inclusions[t] do |i| -%>       <li><label><strong>Product <%= t + 1 %>:</strong></label><%= i.collection_select "product_id", Product.all(:conditions => {:available => true}, :order => "category_id, model ASC"), :id, :display_for_select, {:include_blank => 'Select...'}, {:onchange => "qntDefault(\'quantity_#{t}\');"} %><%= i.text_field "quantity", {:onkeydown => "return noLetters(event);", :class => 'quantity', :id => "quantity_#{t}"} %></li>         <% end -%>     <% end -%>     <%= image_submit_tag 'btn_save.png' %></div>     <%= f.hidden_field :id %> <% end -%>

Can you give more information on your environment? It shouldn't be taking that long...

I'd also advise you to read more documentation; some parts of your code are working against the Rails default conventions (for instance: the action that creates records is typically 'create', not 'new_do'). It's a small thing, but it means that you have to do extra typing (example: the :url option to form_for).

You may also, if you're on 2.3, want to look into the nested model support stuff, which will handle much of what you're doing here.

Hello Matt, thanks for the atention.

I'm under Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 2.3.2. The machine is a Macbook Pro with a Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz and 4GB of RAM. I have declared the nested conditions in the model as seen bellow.

class Kit < ActiveRecord::Base

  has_many :kit_inclusions   has_many :products, :through => :kit_inclusions

  accepts_nested_attributes_for :kit_inclusions, :allow_destroy => true

  def before_validation     self.name = self.name.to_s.strip.downcase.titleize     self.comments = self.comments.to_s.strip.capitalize   end

  validates_presence_of :name, :message => 'é requerido'

  def to_s     self.name   end

end
