Rails - Oct 2009 - Rails Development and Solid State Drive (SSD)

Hi - I''m wondering if using a SSD-based Mac has noticeable performance
gain in the Rails or any general development.

I''m especially curious to know the speed of testing including autotest
and autospec.

Anybody using 13/15inch MacBook Pro with SSD for the development?

I''ve got a 17in with an ssd (a rebranded samsung 256gb ssd). tests
didn''t really run any faster. A lot of large database queries do run a
lot faster though and there''s a hard to quantify general nippiness
about things in general.
