Better yet, don't use a Ruby web server at all, and use another tool you
trust (httperf or ab and curl) to determine a good baseline performance.
Once you've got what *could* be done with net/http then you can run
net/http and compare.

Also, I'm working on a faster alternative to net/http in the RFuzz http
client.  Stay tuned for that, but you can play with it right now:
