Thanks for the tip. I'm also interested in parsing tens of thousands of lines of excel data in rails.
Could you say more about how you set up Gnumeric/ssconvert on your production server? We're running Ubuntu 12 and I'm not seeing an obvious way to get the command-line ssconvert program installed without installing Gnumeric and all of the Gnome packages it depends on.
