JRuby too slow for development 3

A controversial title which I hope I will be able to amend.

I'm new to JRuby, and the following may be due to my ignorance, which I am trying to address.

Two identical rails projects with almost identical Gemfile's. One running under JRuby 1.6.3 and the other on MRI 1.8.7p352. Running exactly the same specs. JRuby is 20x slower!!!
