+## Settings that impact performance
+
+1. `development` environment by default works with hot-reloading enabled, this makes Rails to check file changes every request, and create a potential contention lock, as hot reload is single threaded.
+1. `development` environment can load code lazily once the request is fired which results in first request to always be slow.

+To disable those features for profiling/benchmarking set the `RAILS_PROFILE` environment variable to `true` before starting GitLab. For example when using GDK:

+- add `export RAILS_PROFILE=true` to your `env.runit` file
