The new backgroundrb seemed to me to be markedly slower than the old one. So, I ran a "side-by-side" comparison test using a worker that I had written which parses a CSV file and loads the results into a database. The results? The latest version appears to take twice as long to run the same code as the previous version. Has anyone else experienced speed issues with the new

I have two objects that are associated in the following way: class Class1 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class2s has_and_belongs_to_many :otherClasses end class Class2 < ApplicationController has_and_belongs_to_many :class1s has_and_bleongs_to_many :otherClasses end Now, when I run the following query, @objects = Class1.find(:all, :conditions

I''m having problems with what seems to be lazy loading behavior in Ruby on Rails.

I have been using multiple observers, i.e., observe_field(), on the same input field and relying on them to execute in the same order that they appear in the page. This has been working fine in FireFox, but it does not seem to work in MSIE; the requests come in and are processed in a different order. Now, I''ve always been a little hesitant about using this technique, but it always

I have a problem that I think is probably fairly common but I haven''t seem to be able to come up with the magic combination of search terms to find a solution (or it really isn''t that common). Here''s the deal... Scenario: A system allows a user to enter in articles via a web-form. The system provides a preview function; not a live preview, but a preview on another
