title: Rails on Windows is so slow (rails -v takes 4 seconds)
body: <p>I'm using rails Version 3.0.3 and ruby Version 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-15) on a Intel Core 2 Duo 2,6 Ghz with 4 GB Ram and Windows Vista Business SP2 with no other (heavy) applications running. I have already read that rails development on Windows is slower than on Unices and most people do there for not recommend it but this is silly.</p>
  
  <p>I can't think of any good reason for using 4 seconds to display a simple Version number. And rails generate needs up to 10 seconds to complete!</p>
  
  <p>Something in my setup must be wrong (at least I hope).</p>
  
  <p>Has someone a good idea how to proceed? Thanks in advance!</p>
