Subject: overhead of WEBrick served http?

Hi...

I'm running here a servlet off WEBrick.
Each request is rendered in xx-xxx request/s time by my code
(measured exit time-entry time of servlet) 

So res.body is filled with xx-xxx kb html, what I'm wondering
a) how to best measure the overhead caused by doing also the
   actual socket stuff/http transport in Ruby (=in WEBrick)
   = the real requests/s 
b) probably someone already compared this to other http server
   interfaces (fastCGI?), if I do only the request rendering
   in Ruby and http stuff by pure C server, would this be
   much faster?
