Hi,

Small question on performance. I've just run the CS example provided with Cucumber and it took about 45-50 seconds before the first output appeared in the console, but once this first output had appeared the tests completed quickly.

I'm wondering whether this is the expected performance or whether the plan is to optimize it at some time in the future?


The reason it's so slow is that IronRuby is slow. That's where the optimisation will have to happen. It runs "fast" on JRuby, MRI and YARV.

My guess is that it's the initial start-up that's slow. This is a great reason to use something like autotest, which will keep the process loaded up. I wonder how that hell you could make that work with C# code though! Watch the DLLs?!
