title: Slow loading of rails environment
body: <p>Similar issue to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4305143/slow-loading-rails-environment">Slow loading rails environment</a></p>
  
  <p>Loading the rails environment takes quite a bit of time and I'm not sure exactly why.</p>
  
  <pre><code>time ruby -r./config/environment.rb -e ""
   real   0m18.590s
   user   0m17.200s
   sys    0m1.320s
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Are there any tools/ways that can help me find why it is spending so much time to load the environment? </p>
  
  <p>The project is fairly large, so I am assuming that it is coming from all the gem dependencies, but I would think that it would be able to be improved somehow.</p>
