Are you using a staticly linked ruby or shared libraries?  ps aux isn't a great
indicator of memory usage because it will overlap shared libraries.  "pmap -d <pid>"
will give you a better indicator of memory usage, and I'm guessing you could toy
with your thread stack size in ulimit to reduce actual footprint quite a bit if
necessary.
