String creation itself turns out to not take too long:
>> Benchmark.measure { "hello!\n"*10_000}
=> #<Benchmark... @real=0.000353097915649414, @utime=0.0, @cstime=0.0>

So it's not a huge bottleneck.  Replacing it with a static string yields 
approx. the same results, which I did thanks to your suggestion.

Here's some results [ruby 1.8.6p287 OS X] running ab -n 300


7B response: old: 1595 req/s new: 1690 req/s (thin: 1901)
7K response: old: 1168 req/s new: 1559 req/s  (thin: 1849)
70K response: old: 366 req/s new: 1140 req/s (thin: 1160)
700K response: old: 46 req/s new: 286 [or 48] req/s (thin: 295)*



So overall better results, but most noticeable at the 70K level.  It 
seems roughly on par with thin.
IO#write is [I think] ruby thread friendly, so I'm not sure why the 
difference.

Thanks!

* or 48: With some mongrel tests it would have a single long, out of 
300, that would take 4s while the others all took 20ms.  Not sure why. 
Excluding that, it ran at the 286
