OMG, why are there so many Strings in ObjectSpace?!?

hash = {}
ObjectSpace.each_object.collect{|t| t.class}.uniq.each{|cla| hash[cla]
= ObjectSpace.each_object(cla).to_a.length}
hash

{Tiger=>1, Gem::SourceIndex=>1, Gem::Version=>601, String=>57656,
RubyToken::TkNL=>1, Gem::Dependency=>206, Proc=>127, NoMemoryError=>1,

Gem::Requirement=>554, SystemStackError=>1, Module=>495, Hash=>130,

IRB::Context=>1, Regexp=>353, IRB::Notifier::NoMsgNotifier=>1,
IRB::Irb=>1, Gem::Version::Part=>481, Time=>176}

And if I do:

ObjectSpace.each_object(String).each{|str| hash[str.object_id] = str}

I find that most of these strings appear to be paths to ruby files. I
am curious if everyone has a similarly large set of string objects in
their ObjectSpace, or is this a result of my personalized setup?
