What (if any) hardware changes have happened? If you've moved to a machine with lots more RAM a memory intensive program that was paging and swapping could all of a sudden keep more data in memory and become more CPU intensive. That memory could be consumed by either Perl or Oracle or both.

Now I'm running the same program in linux enterprise ES 4, perl v. 5.8.5, Oracle 10g. uses 60% cpu. I'd like to know what's happening because the performance is slower and the difference is wide big. Do you think this perl new version (5.8.5) takes more cpu ? I appreciate any idea you could give me to improve my performance. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
