Subject: daemon in ruby uses alot of memory ?


I was told by someone that tried to write a daemon process in Ruby to
serve treaming audio files to multiple clients that it uses alot of
memory which made the web server usage too high. Too high meaning the
amount allocatable memory from a web service where you don't own the
web server and pay based on your usage etc. I was told threads in Ruby
are not native threads and that since Ruby doesn't have a virtual
machine that this was also part of it. I am just trying to find out
more, and if what I said makes sense to other people here. Also, would
using Perl be different if this was the case ?
