 = Faster Rubygems =
 
-A helper gem to dramatically speedup the time it takes to startup a ruby script.
 
-i.e. it makes it so that requiring rubygems no longer takes as long.
+
+This gem makes loading rubygems *much* faster.
+
+What it does is cache the location of files in your gem dirs, ex:
+
+/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/jruby/{active_support, active_record}
+
+it creates this file:
+
+/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/jruby/.faster_rubygems_cache
+
+Then it uses *that* instead of loading full blown rubygems.
+
+
+Timing (on doze with ~ 50 gems installed):
+
+no rubygems at all:
+
+$ jruby -e 1
+0.68s.
+
+require 'rubygems' time:
+
+$ jruby -rubygems -e 1
+
+2.36s normal rubygems: -> 0.94s with faster_rubygems
+
+time to do a rake -V (get rake version):
+
+$ jruby -S rake -V
+
+2.48s with normal rubygems: -> 1.50s with faster_rubygems
+
+(rake installed into site_ruby and loaded without rubygems takes 1.41s).  
+
+Thus we see that loading of rubygems has decreased from 1.4s to between 0.1s and 0.3s

+
+with mingw (windows).

->> require 'faster_rubygems/unoverride'

 If all else fails in this process (it has typically worked fine), you can 
 reinstall normal rubygems by downloading its package (.tgz) and running ruby setup.rb within it.

 To regenerate cache files (should never really be necessary, but if you for some reason think yours are stale) do the following:
