Apologies for starting a new thread. I couldn't find any messages in my inbox to reply to.
Thanks Paul, Bill and Diane for your replies. My situation is that the number of mimedefang.pl processes jumps to about 70 during peak loads (we are processing a couple hundres messages per minute on average). Our filter file is in need of some optimizations(since each mimedefang.pl is taking about 125mb of resident memory), but I'm wondering if using embedded perl will help in this situation. I see you mentioned using embedded perl prevents forking entire processes.. So does this mean each request is handled by a thread within the main process instead? So would my RAM requirements be reduced drastically? In my peak case, I roughly calculate my RAM usage just for md.pl to be about 8GB. If embedded perl makes this go down a lot, it's a major win for me. Thanks again for your help _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID. You may ignore it.
