One simple thing to ensure if that you're not doing a
Class.find(:all)
If you've got an even semi large dataset, you'll hose your memory footprint by
loading up 1000's of ActiveRecord objects. I know, it's a mistake I've made
once. User.find(:all) in a Facebook app, was a stupid thing for me to
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
(doc/'body').text
I believe will do what you want.
Please correct me if I'm wrong
