Running arch, when developing rails the console's tab completion for everything is incredibly slow. Even if the list it returns is inherently small.
User.n for instance shouldn't return a horrid number of options, but it will basically halt for upwards of 20 seconds before doing anything. Behavior repeats on every attempt. Any idea on how to fix?
I fixed this by removing the following lines from the file /etc/profile:
PATH="$PATH:$(ruby -e 'print Gem.user_dir')/bin"
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
export PATH
And adding the following to ~/.profile
# make rails gems work
PATH="$PATH:$(ruby -e 'print Gem.user_dir')/bin"
export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem
