THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!

It was a combination of different things:
(a) I changed to the "stable snapshot" 1.6.6 at
ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/stable-snapshot.tar.gz
(b) I applied additionally the patch suggested by "ts" in this thread

(a) was responsible for about 180kB/s memory leak, (b) was responsible for
20kB/s.

Now I have to integrate 1.6.6. into my environment ... still a lot of work.

Thanks again,

Jens

P.S.: Is there any place in the ruby garden, where I can see those changes
without having
to make a diff over all the code? Or is there too many changes to make such
a list feasible?
A simple diff would still leave me wondering what the changes will bring.
