But it still shares all the modules you pre-load in the http.conf, right? So how much memory is wasted depends on the size of the script in question, or more accurately on how big its data structures are? (including imported variables) BTW, anyone know if Perl 6 will free unused memory? From what I understand, right now it just allocates as needed, but never gives any back to the OS when it's done... (ie, when some function ends)
