Try profiling... Some time ago I found my modperl app to be fairly slow because I turned on use Carp (and was carping errors and warnings). After disabling carping it was almost 10 times faster. I have also found that SWIG generated interface to some C++ library is very inefficient in some places (especially destructing a lot of objects) and manually written XS module happened to be a few times faster (it was the case with a lot of small objects). I think there are also other similar potential problems... -- ( Marcin Kasperski | Most of the bad things that can happen to a project ) ( http://www.mk.w.pl | are the result of miscommunication.
