Ohai runs at the beginning of every client run and, on windows, add significant time to run time.  I've been considering commenting out the drivers section of the wondows ohai plugin, just to see if it breaks anything.  It pulls a boatload of data that I see no use for at the moment (for my current project anyway).

I'm just getting started with chef and I'm somewhat frustrated by how long it
takes to debug recipes.  Chef-Solo takes 4 seconds to fire up and run a simple
recipe on a mac and 20 seconds on windows.  We're porting a bunch of automation
from powershell and batch scripts to chef, and I'm used to making a change and
running it instantly.

I figure I am just a newbie and don't know the tricks behind doing chef
development.  What tricks are people using to do this?
