Rails extremly slow on WinXP

Hi everyone

I just installed ruby using the latest one-click-installer and rails with the latest gem. When I run any generator it takes about 1 minute for it to complete. There is no output for a minute or so and then everything gets done within just 2-3 seconds. Has anyone seens something similar?

thanks Marc

An earlier post on this topic mentioned that it can be really slow if you have files on a network drive and you’re using a wireless card.

While Rails on Windows is slow, it’s not that slow. I’d expect a g enerator to take about 10-20 seconds to run. Are you using a local database?

thanks for your response.

I have a purely local installation. Everything on this one PC. The database is also on the same PC. It happened after I formated my harddrive and installed everything again. I didn't use to have any problem with my old install. The generators worked pretty much instantly back then. I can't recall what versions ruby and rails I've used on the old install though.
