The opensrs scripts seems to be relatively large and is only seems to be getting bigger with time.
Does anyone or the developers know whether the current 80KB script size has a significant enough impact on how fast the scripts can be run and compiled as opposed to a 40KB script? I'm wondering if breaking up the current register.cgi and manage.cgi scripts into smaller individual components will have much of an effect on speed to make it worthwhile. Currently, upon looking at the CPU % used evertime the manage.cgi script is invoked, it seems to use up 17% to 28% of my CPU resouces during the compile process. The cpu % numbers were come from data run on a Dual P3 1GHZ with 512K cache with a cheetah SCSI. Does anyone know how to improve speed and performance of those scripts. I hear converting over to PHP speeds things up, but that'll take a lot of work, and sometimes I hear of PHP security flaws. mod_perl is an alternative, but can be very dangerous if you're not very careful with your code. Since perl is a compiled everytime language, I'm wondering if I can shorten the compile time by switching the machine to much faster processor. The idea behind this is that a faster processor and BUS will speed up the perl compile time and make it a minimal factor. With this in mind, do you think there will be a significant performance difference if I switch over to a: Dual 2.0 GHZ Xeon with 2GB of Rambus memory and a 15,000K RPM cheetah harddrive? I know the BUS on the Xeons run about close to 4 times faster than the standard P3's. Wonder if speeding up the compile time would make enough difference to make this switch worthwhile.

Register a name server host with "microsoft.com" as the first part of its name, for example "microsoft.com.einfosystems.net"
