Slow startup using ruby 1.9.2 vs 1.8.7

There has been an ongoing thread [1] on the RoR talk list about
startup time using Rails 3 with Ruby 1.9.2.  Do not be confused by the
subject of the thread, which mentions 1.9.1, it has moved on to 1.9.2.
 The gist is that on Ubuntu (and possibly Macs) the startup time when
using 1.9.2 can be very much greater then 1.8.7, even with a minimal
app.  This applies to running tests, migrations, server startup and so
on.

Can anyone here throw any light on this?

Thanks in advance
