Net/Telnet Script Tuning question

I've modified an expect script to reset passwords for batch accounts into
a ruby script. Our sysadmin has them expire every month, so we change
them to a temporary value, then change them right back. The ruby script
works and looks neat, but it is much slower than the expect script. I was
hoping that you might have some tips on speeding it up. I'm pretty sure
that I'm not using net/telnet to it's fullest.

Usage is simple, chgpass.rb [test|prod], the flag indicates where we're
changing (frodo being test system, gandalf being production).

Thanks,

Mike Henderson
