Your probably right, I will start the job on a friday evening and let it 
take it's time.

Your probably right about this as well, but I can't backout of the Ruby 
corner now. I already opened my mouth about Ruby to much now, if I 
change my method now  it will make Ruby look realy bad. =(

This is what I succeded with:
* I removed all of the console prints for each file. (This lowered the 
time with about 20s! I had no idea that output was so demanding.).
* I kept the filehandle open for writing to the process.log.
* I also removed any line of unessesary code in the critical part of my 
application.
This lowered the time to around 17s. I will now try to run the test on 
the right environment.

Of course I will post the results here for your guys to se.
Thanks again for your time.
