speed up deploys with capistrano in rails 3.1

I have uploaded a app in production mode to linode.

I want make changes in local app in css, javascript, controllers, models, or any file that I need change or update code and after deploy in my remote app.

I use capistrano, and I have this recipe in deploy.rb file.

$:.unshift(File.expand_path('./lib', ENV['rvm_path'])) # Add RVM's lib directory to the load pathe
require "rvm/capistrano"                  # Load RVM's capistrano plugin.
require "bundler/capistrano"
set :rvm_ruby_string, 'ruby-1.9.2-p318@global'  
set :rvm_type, :user
set :application, "app.com"
set :user, 'myuser'
set :repository,  "#{user}@ip.ip.ip.ip:~/app"
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

set :scm, :git
set :use_sudo, false
set :keep_releases, 1
set :deploy_to, "~/#{application}"
#set :deploy_via, :copy
set :deploy_via, :remote_cache

role :web, "ip.ip.ip.ip"                          # Your HTTP server, Apache/etc
role :app, "ip.ip.ip.ip"                          # This may be the same as your `Web` server
role :db,  "ip.ip.ip.ip", :primary => true # This is where Rails migrations will run
load 'deploy/assets'

The problem is that when I run cap deploy the process is very very slow take a 5 or 6 minutes in deploy If I want change 2 files or add a gem I want update only those files that have changed.

How can I speed up the deploy with capistrano. With git I go very fast but I have that enter more command, git add . git commit...

Note**

I have check with set :deploy_via, :remote_cache but I get errors with permissions in log of capistrano :O.

Log capistrano after cap deploy

If you're only updating a couple of files, you often don't need to deploy your entire application. Capistrano has a deploy:upload task for exactly this purpose:

cap deploy:upload FILES=file1,file2,file3

Since it expects the files in an environment variable, it's kind of a pain to upload multiple files with it. I wrote this script to make it a little easier to use:

#!/bin/bash
cap deploy:upload FILES=`perl -le 'print join "," => @ARGV' $@`

Save that somewhere in your path, and you can just pass paths as command line arguments. Then restart your application:

upload app/models/{user,product}.rb config/application.rb
cap deploy:restart

The first thing I would suggest to speed it up is getting the deploy_via :remote_cache working. You need to make sure that the remote user can authenticate to your git repo, which means configuring your SSH key on the remote server to connect.

Try setting this:

ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

Github has a great help article on getting it working:
