I recently installed a fresh development setup on my laptop and now notice that my instances of spork take several minutes to start up. This is also most likely of the RSpec and Cucumber tests start up times running super slow.
I ran in diagnostic mode with the -d flag and received the output below. Anyone have a clue why this is suddenly happening?

you could use ruby-prof gem to profile and see what is taking so long.
My first guess is you need to set BasicSocket.do_not_reverse_lookup=true
but who could know…
