So `eager_load` should be set to `false`, and Rails will autoload files as needed (see [Autoloading Algorithms](#autoloading-algorithms) below) -- and then reload them when they change (see [Constant Reloading](#constant-reloading) below). - * In **production**, however you want consistency and thread-safety and can live with a longer boot time. So `eager_load` is set to `true`, and then during boot (before the app is ready to receive requests) Rails loads all files in the `eager_load_paths` and then turns off auto loading (NB: autoloading may be needed during eager loading). Not autoloading after boot is a `good thing`, as autoloading can cause the app to be have thread-safety problems. + * In **production**, however, you want consistency and thread-safety and can live with a longer boot time.

Not autoloading after boot is a `good thing`, as autoloading can cause the app to be have thread-safety problems. * In **test**, for speed of execution (of individual tests) `eager_load` is `false`, so Rails follows development behaviour. What is described above are the defaults with a newly generated Rails app. There are multiple ways this can be configured differently (see [Configuring Rails Applications](configuring.html#rails-general-configuration). |
