Is your array sparse by any chance? If not your modperl daemon is going to
get _much_ larger after you populate that array. If it's sparse, consider
using a hash - that will give you a slight speed penalty at the benefit of
not consuming quite so much ram. Other things to consider:
Re-write this critical bit of code in XS (not as hard as it sounds).
Use a database.
Use the filesystem.
