That's odd. On Win32, mod_perl runs as a single blocking thread. I wouldn't expect changing that setting to affect anything. Are you sure you were running your script under Apache::Registry? (Maybe someone who actually uses Win32 could supply some help here?) > Have I missed something here?

You would certainly get better performance on Linux or BSD. If you have to use Win32 and need better performance, you may have to look at other options like ActiveState's PerlEx. - Perrin
