Eruby creates a tempfile filled with 'puts' lines, then evals it.  If
you use mod_ruby straight and a templating system (I hacked up RDoc's
for my own purposes) you'll have a faster and cleaner system.

Even still, you should be able to do better than 8 hits/sec.  You may
want to send this along with more configuration info to the mod_ruby
list: modruby@modruby.net
