Heroku workers VS. e.g. Ironio-Workers
I use hirefire-gem with Delayed-Job 3 on heroku cedar-stack and it is working pretty good in terms of hiring/firing but performance of the job execution is terrible. firing up the background job and seeing the results in the UI takes about 5-8 seconds locally and about 25-30 seconds (!) on heroku.

Processing time of the jobs is about the same locally/deployed but hiring workers (scaling, up, starting, ...) seems to take a lot of time(?). 

is that a common issue? is there a solution? Has anyone compared e.g. IronWorker performance to heroku-workers? I read a thread here on SO from the founders of IronWorker vs. HireFire but it didn't mention these details.

Thanks a lot.
Best, Phil
