Do you need this solution to scale? Fetching that large string from the
database is going to be far less efficient than Colin's suggestion about
using page caching. The web server was designed to be highly efficient
at serving static HTML content (i.e the cached pages). Using Rails and
the database can't possibly match the performance of Apache or Nginx.
