This is just from my experience, I have tried many gems which allow managing tasks, dooby (https://github.com/rafmagana/dooby https://github.com/rafmagana/dooby) is one that comes to mind. It takes almost a second to list my tasks, Now, I know that it's not much. But, the percieved slowness has made me avoid this. That's the reason I didn't put it in a gem. Just for comparison, I did create a gem initially, but it was taking 0.5 s when compared to the 0.05s without the gem infrastructure. As someone mentioned the 'hub' gem does this too.
