 Probably I'm wrong but the difference is in str_new(). Apparently the GC
 is not important in this case, ruby take all it's time in str_new (or
 rb_str_new2() for 1.6.8).

 The difference : str_new() can call memset()

 If you replace malloc(), memset() with calloc() : 1.8 is as fast as 1.6.8.
 Someone can verify this with its copy of ruby ?
