A bunch of people have posted about Ctrl-P being slow but I've never had that problem. Here's my user_command: let g:ctrlp_user_command = "find %s -type f | egrep -v '/\.(git|hg|svn)|solr|tmp/' | egrep -v '\.(png|exe|jpg|gif|jar|class|swp|swo|log|gitkep|keepme|so|o)$'" While the CtrlP window is open, hitting F5 will refresh the list of files and it's really fast. I'm on an SSD but it's still basically instant on ever…

Or OSX where I can never seem to get vim to build from source (which is the only option for Ruby or even Python integration). I know I've done it in the past but every time I need to I forget the magic I need to do.
./configure --enable-rubyinterp && make
Or if yours isn't for whatever reason, you could cheat and grab MacVim[0] then symlink `/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim` to `/usr/local/bin/vim` (editing paths as necessary)
