Don''t know if something like this exists already, but thought
I''d
advertise my script :)

Introduction

Rails is slow. Rails in development mode on old computers is WAY slow.
There is hope, however. Just run it in production mode [fast!] and have
it restart whenever a file change occurs. Slow to restart, perhaps, but
far faster than reloading all files per request, which is development
mode.  This allowed me to develop in rails on my 1 GHz PPC [like 6 years
old] and still consider it survivable.

How to get/run:

code:
http://code.google.com/p/ruby-roger-useful-functions/source/checkout
buried in here is rails/rails_useful.rb, which contains a function

def fire_up_file_modification_checker_thread reload_dirs
[''app/controllers'', ''app/schools'',
''app/models''], death_dirs [''app/helpers'',
''config'',
''app/controllers/shared_search_code_module.rb'']

so put that file in your lib dir, include it in your environment.rb,
and, if it''s like mine, add something like this to environment.rb

require ''lib/rails_useful.rb''
require ''socket''
fire_up_file_modification_checker_thread() if Socket.gethostname =~
/Roger/ # if you''re on a dev machine
and watch the goodness go.  And then stop.  And restart.
