Rails 3.1 is very slow in development-mode because of assets, what to do?

Question

After I added Sprockets, Rails is loading very slow in development mode, what should I do to speed it up?

Answer 1

Have you looked at how quickly it runs in production? The development environment behaves differently than testing and production, and takes more performance hits because of it. Without more information, we can't provide you with a better answer.
