The RubyGems index needs a ton of work. It's definitely not ideal right now, this was the easiest thing we could do to get Bundler happier and speedier. I would love to see a more apt-get like system where you cache things locally, but that has its own implications/difficulties as well. Basically, it's hard to keep the time down from "gem push" to "gem install" if you go towards more distributed/delayed indexing systems...but I'm willing to compromise if it's way better.
