> A typical Rails application can take about 30 seconds to load

Typical? Wtf kind of codebases have you been working on?

The largest Rails app I've worked on had 250 models and 200 controllers. It took 12 seconds to load the Rails environment on Ruby 1.8.

Rails 3.1+ on 1.9.3 is pretty darn fast, even for medium-sized apps (50+ models).
