I am doing some initial testing for a Rails app which will be deployed on Windows, but the development server in a VirtualBox is painfully slow. I’ve never seen anything like this in Linux (but the server platform must be Windows), even in an identical virtual appliance.
Is Rails on Windows viable in terms of speed?
I on the other hand find it to be pretty stable, and don’t have any kind of speed problems.
I’ve been using Rails with Windows and Linux (still to use it with Mac OSX), and have had exactly the same sort of response times.
I prefer to use it on Linux though, because of the terminal and all the Linux goodies, but am pretty happy to use it on Windows.
Update:
Thought it would be nice to complete saying I’ve used Rails both from a Windows Machine, and from a Linux Machine with a virtual windows install, and as previously stated, i had the same sort of response times.
