Subject: Ruby + FreeBSD = bandwidth killer?

This is a bizarre situation. I have a program that makes heavy use of
Hpricot. The program uses the Daemons gem to break apart into multiple
processes all running essentially the same program, each working on a
different set of data.

The program runs fine on Leopard. However, when I run the same program
on a FreeBSD box with comparable hardware, it drains the life from my
bandwidth.

The FreeBSD machine is a bare-bones install of 6.3. I installed Ruby and
Ruby Gems, nothing else.

Any ideas?
