Question
When using Chrome with a POW .dev
domain, page loads are incredibly slow.
There is a long delay between Rails finishing its work and the page being rendered to the screen.
Running the same app on a .dev
domain in Safari or Firefox results in instant page load. As does running an alternate server locally on localhost.

OTHER TIPS
I had a similar problem but with a different solution. Under systems preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS I added localhost 127.0.0.1 as a nameserver before any other nameservers. This helps to resolve the .dev domains much faster.
