title: Webrick is very slow to respond. How to speed it up?
body: <p>I have a Rails application that I'm running on my server. When I go to a remote desktop and attempt to load the application, the server takes a good 3-4 minutes to respond with a simple HTML page. However, when I load up the page locally on the server, the page shows up in just a second. I tried pinging the server from my remote desktop and the pings are going through successful in a reasonable amount of time. </p>
  
  <p>This all seems to have started after I installed Oracle's basic client and SQLPLUS. Should I suspect Oracle? Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?</p>
