So today, to take advantage of the better test performance, I upgraded the mysql gem to 2.7 to get the latest native bindings. </p><p> <code>$ gem update mysql -- --with-mysql-config</code> </p><p> <em>Note:</em> This is for OS X 10.3.9 with mysql and ruby from <a href="http://www.darwinports.org">DarwinPorts</a>. </p><p> The great news is that it <strong>worked</strong>! My rake has gone from 3 min. 40-ish seconds to 2 minutes 40-ish seconds. Gotta love that! </p> Mon, 31 Oct 2005 12:19:00 -0600 urn:uuid:b77b600268308c4bfa78b52c9c50ef8b Dave Minor http://www.dminor.com/blog/articles/2005/10/31/faster-tests Ruby on Rails Programming Show-off!
