But... it DOESN'T only happen in -CURRENT. Even Raistlin Majere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is using a -STABLE or a -RELEASE maybe (he doesn't state his uname output in the message). And to confirm, I have just run the script with FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE of Nov 24th 2001: 44 secs! Awfully slow! (Perl 5.005_03 built from buildworld) And... let me tell you more. I run the script in -CURRENT who has: $ ll /etc/malloc.conf lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2 Feb 8 14:08 /etc/malloc.conf -> aj This is a "fresh" -CURRENT (Mar 13th 2002) with Perl 5.6.0 built from buildworld. And to clarify things... I don't know what's wrong with malloc() in -CURRENT and -STABLE (and I don't even know whether it's even "wrong"). All I want is to let the Perl maintainer in -CURRENT and -STABLE to compile the stock Perl with its own malloc library, thus Perl in FreeBSD doesn't suffer from this kind of slowness.
