Webrick is very slow to respond. How to speed it up?
Having the same issue here (even a year later). Under linux you have to do the following:
Look for the file /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/config.rb and edit it.
Replace the line
:DoNotReverseLookup => nil,with
:DoNotReverseLookup => true,Restart webrick and it'll work like a charm :)
Had the same problem. For me, this post held the solution. If you are on Ubuntu, stop (or uninstall) the avahi-daemon. service avahi-daemon stop stops the daemon.
Webrick now feels very speedy.
The problem has an old report in Rails Lighthouse, however, Ruby-on-Rails have moved their tickets to github since then; Kind of unfortunate that this old problem persists still.
Be aware though, that if you actually use avahi-daemon for something, like finding printers and scanners on your network, that won’t work anymore.
Just had the same problem. The
...:DoNotReverseLookup => true,...did the trick for me too.Just in case you´re running ruby under the rvm, here is the path to go for:
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-<version>/lib/ruby/<version>/webrick/config.rb
