You can run watir with the -b switch to make it faster. We are also working
on other methods to improve performance.
But 200 sessions is a lot for watir. Most boxes cannot support that many
instances of IE, whether you are using watir or just creating IE sessions
manually.
So i agree with Jeff.

It sounds like you are doing load testing which is not what I think
WATiR is intended for.
WATiR is meant for functional/procedural testing.
If you are simply wanting to load/perf-test large quantities of
simultaneous sessions on the system ... That would possibly be better
suited for simple HTTP calls directly... ( like using uri-open or wget
and/or curl )
That's my $0.02 ... YMMV
