Well running the code against the example url the reason for the length of
time it took was these files:

16700151
http://www.eluth.com/extras/update.php?read_me=0&readme_file=../../../../usr/local/apache2/logs/access_log
429251
http://www.eluth.com/extras/update.php?read_me=0&readme_file=../../../../usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log
17092095
http://www.eluth.com/extras/update.php?read_me=0&readme_file=../../../../var/log/httpd/access_log
586331
http://www.eluth.com/extras/update.php?read_me=0&readme_file=../../../../var/log/httpd/error_log

Large files will necessarily take longer to download, all the rest were a
little over 1K. Which puts the bottleneck on the code which gets the page
(Net::HTTP.get) rather than the script overall.

However without the PHP version of the program to compare it against there
is no way to measure how much slower Ruby is against PHP. Is PHP really
that much faster at downloading a web page?
