Rubygems is slow, the way that it requires files from libraries is by scanning through every gem, for every file, every time. Which is particularly brutal on Windows. It probably doesn't need to be that way via either extending the syntax to require from a specific gem and/or to have a file manifest database (and lose some manual hack-it-up-itude)
