This "while true; end" is known as a "busy loop" (google for this term) 
and is not CPU-friendly. Perhaps it steals CPU cycles form your working 
thread.

Remove this busy loop and the "server = Thread.start" line and have only 
this:

   while (cl = serverSocket.accept)
      [...]
   end

and see if it solves the problem.
