A while ago, a few people have mentioned that it's possible to improve the way Perl data structures get mapped in memory pages, by exercising the code before the child processes have been spawned, i.e. running the code and not just pre-compiling it. Did anyone try this at home :) Any satisfactionary results on this direction or what it just a crazy idea? If my explanation wasn't good enough, the aim was to improve the sharing of the memory pages and reduce the unsharing during the child life to minimum. Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://perl.org http://stason.org/TULARC http://singlesheaven.com http://perlmonth.com http://sourcegarden.org
