Ruby on Rails : Create user profile in rails

I'm using devise gem. So, I can easily edit current user account by generating devise views. I've already a model user and it's related to devise gem for authenticating purpose. Now, I want to show user profile or user information in a single page. I can do it by creating a new controller. But, is it efficient or recommended way to do that??

There's no performance penalty for creating another controller, all it does is help you organize your code. Here's how I did it:

**controller**
class UsersController < ApplicationController

  def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
  end

end

**routes**
  devise_for :users, 
  resources :users, :only => [:show]

Ryan Bates has a RailsCast that explains how to do this. Essentially, you make use of nested attributes for the models.
