Server takes long to restart. Too much buffering time #110

When I have made changes and saved on my HTML files, it takes long before the server picks the changes up again. The span is so long that when I refresh the page it gives me a 404 error on the browser until I refresh the page again. I'm using it in a sinatra app so I'm running the server using rackup. If the time between making the changes and refreshing the browser to see the changes is reduced to almost instantly, then it would do a lot of good on the experience.

I just added a --wait feature which allows you to tune the delay between rerun politely asking the process to stop, and rudely killing it. But that won't help if your server takes several seconds to start up. If you need faster reaction time, I suggest trying shotgun or guard; read the bottom of the README for a comparison between them.
