    Fixing the Load Times

I noticed the boot time for the application was very slow. Here are the actions and steps I took to decrease it.
Benchmark Requires

The first think I needed to do was benchmark how long each bit of code took to be required by the application. I used a script I found on Google to help.
Combining and adding all the require times together you can see that it take almost a minute to load everything.
$ ruby AddTimes_0.rb
57.22181100000005

$ vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant; time rails console"
real	0m46.279s
user	0m5.752s
sys	    0m3.324s

$ vagrant ssh -c "cd /vagrant; time rspec spec"

# Number of Requires
654

Actions to Reduce Boot Time

** Remove requires out of application.rb **
