Hi.
I created active_reload gem ( GitHub - paneq/active_reload: Reload Rails code in development mode only when change is deteced ) which changes how rails handles code reloading in development mode. Instead of reloading it afer every request it is done before request and only when some file is changed or added. Few of my friends are already using it and does not have any problem. I hope this will help you too. Especially useful for bigger rails applications.
