eh, no. I've been looking at top with your script, and the VSIZE is consistently bigger with the XS modules. I see more shared memory too, though. PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE 1977 perl 0.0% 0:03.27 1 12 1177 14.6M 13.4M 21.9M 51.0M Hmm, RSHRD = 13.7, RSIZE = 21.9, so the unique memory used by this process is 8.2MB? Is that what I should be looking at? Just as comparison, the pure perl version is 1991 perl 0.0% 0:02.89 1 12 46 13.4M 1.38M 14.6M 33.3M so RSHRD = 1.38M, RSIZE = 14.6M, and the difference = 12.22MB Argh, I don't get it. --d
