I'm glad you and Michael got a chance to meet. I did want to talk with you and the rest of the CGI::Application gang, but didn't quite have time at this one. Maybe at OSCON, if you're going. > Thanks for the suggestion. I see we had it at 250, while our other front > end server had 180.

You should also check to make sure that you are really opening only one connection per process. You can use the Apache::DBI debugging to check that on your dev server. > We are also investigating if the Cache::FileCache caching we are doing > may have played a part, but we haven't found any strong evidence to > support that angle so far. I'd recommend that you stop using Cache::FileCache and replace it with something like Cache::FastMmap. It's at least an order of magnitude faster. > Oddly, I tried using Apache::DProf, but the Perl processes we noticed > that were using the CPU never produced the debugging output. Maybe they got caught in some kind of tight loop. You can sometimes get useful info by running strace on processes like that. - Perrin
