Bundle install in parallel
Gave a shot to the new Bundler 1.4.0RC1 during the weekend and found out it now supports gem installation in parallel. To invoke you need to pass --jobs
parameter with number of threads you want it to run – for me the best performance was achieved by specifying the number physical CPU cores.
I've tested on the AppFab Archive app. In my case (CPU with 2-core i7 with HT) the speedup was 50%. I've also tried with a number greater than the number of physical cores but the performance was 15%-20% worse.
