Subject: DateTime.parse speed question

I'm trying to speed up a small app that I've written.  When I run the
profiler I see that 46% of my applications time is spent on Integer#gcd.
This seems to be coming from DateTime.  I need to store dates, and then
find the differences in time between these dates.  Is there anything I
can do differently or do I just have to suffer the consequences of using
ruby's DateTime class?


example

diff = DateTime.now - data_from_file
h,m,s,frac = DateTime.day_fraction_to_time(diff)

another example

todays_data << [DateTime.parse(time),status,task.chomp]
