+A helper to dramatically speedup the time it takes to load rubygems
+
+i.e. "require 'rubygems'" no longer has to sap valuable time from your life.
+
+inspired by a request from Yehuda Katz [1] and 1.9's fast gem_prelude.
+
+Speed difference (windows box, lots of gem):
+
+$ time ruby examples/require_rubygems_normal.rb
+
+real    0m1.109s
+
+$ time ruby examples/require_fast_start.rb
+
+real    0m0.500s
+
+Yea! Finally ruby script startup times that don't spend forever just reloading gem paths.
+
+It acts about the same as gem_prelude (prelude is 1.9 only currently) -- adds the paths of the highest version of each gem into your load path so they're ready to be required.
+
+== installation ==
+
+git clone git://github.com/rdp/faster_rubygems.git
+ruby faster_rubygems/install.rb # done
+
+== usage ==
+require 'frubygems'
+or
+require 'rubygemsf'
+
+(both do the same thing).
+
+If you were really clever I suppose you could figure out how to override the default rubygem behavior to do this, always :)
+
+== Speed differences == 
+
+For those interested, speed difference example on linux (250 gems):
+$ time ruby examples/require_rubygems_normal.rb
+ruby examples/require_rubygems_normal.rb  0.57s user 0.05s system 85%
+cpu 0.726 total
+
+$ time ruby examples/require_fast_start.rb
+ruby examples/require_fast_start.rb  0.04s user 0.02s system 46% cpu
+0.121 total
+
+Note also that a few non conforming gems require the use of require 'rubygems' no matter what (they're pretty rare, though--you probably won't run into them, and I'm not aware of any).
+
+Note: you don't need this for ruby 1.9, which already preloads via gem_prelude, but it won't hurt to use it in 1.9--it defaults to a no-op, so doesn't hurt.
