In Rails 3.03 the reload! method in the console seems to be broken. If your app gets large, this becomes annoying because you have to wait for the console to load a lot.
There are solutions proposed: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3822-reload-doesnt-reload https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/e6dffb70e6c1d524eeb5a40e1f8e01b067781143
And a seeming fix in edge: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/435bccda930e4dde3d0fafca958e1c8330b4c3ca/railties/lib/rails/console/app.rb
However, I have not had any luck with any of these patches or with the new edge Reloader class. Has anyone? Am I missing some obvious workaround or is there a reason I should not be using the console as much?

Thank you for your help.
