Sorry, I should have clarified; I’m benchmarking the same site (server,  
content, etc) on two different hosts. I suspect the delta is due to a  
different environment (one is in a VM, the other is actual iron). I  
expected the GET to be greater than the ping, but I did not expect the  
GET  
delta to be 6x that of the ping delta.

I’m just checking with y’all to make sure Net::HTTP isn’t doing  
something  
screwy that could mess up my benchmarks.

Thanks for your help,
