Performance optimization

[sswaroopgupta]

Expected behavior
The performance of the ruby language runner must be comparable to js/python language runners

Actual behavior
The performance of gauge-ruby on Linux OS is slow

Steps to replicate

• project - https://github.com/sguptatw/gauge-ruby-performance-usages.git
• execute project gauge run from command line

The performance of the runner is slow compared to js/python language runner

The performance of ruby runner on Linux should be comparable with its performance on OSx

Setting TCP_NODELAY helps speed up execution in linux. Fix should be available in nightly >= 29/5/18

Ruby Performance test suite takes more than 5 minutes to execute where as Python Performance test suite takes 5 seconds

Observed on VM Ubuntu
CPU - 2 cores
Memory - 2GB

This project has Gemfile.lock checked in, causing the gauge-ruby dependency to be fixed at revision 690b36679a5b3cd9941aaa73a716c8a56541693a which is older than the revision that has the fix.

Run bundle update and then run bundle exec gauge run specs and see if it makes any difference.

@sriv Thanks. Works as expected after bundle install
