Do not blame ruby for the failings of rails.

Personally I have never had any problems with speed when developing large projects with Ramaze, Sinatra or Padrino. In my experience this only happens to Rails. No clue why though. Maybe some gems used by Rails take too long to load.

Ah but if Ruby were faster Rails would be faster. Whether it's possible to do less and be acceptably fast is besides the point, I like Rails.
