Ah, I see. This is a known problem with the performance of the protobuf serialization library we're using in the Ruby driver (see https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/897). It bottlenecks the CPU and should be fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, you could try running a multithreaded/multiprocess script -- that would significantly increase throughput.

Sorry you ran into this -- it'll be fixed ASAP.

the driver doesn't seem to be threadsafe and just locks once I start using it in threads :(

Sorry -- the drivers are meant to be used in a way where you create a new connection in each thread. If you do it this way, things will work.
