No, there's no speed advantage to threads. In fact perl is measurably faster if you compile it with no thread support. > Memory is fairly cheap and, with my > web servers (without DB's on it - just web servers) with 32 gigs of > RAM.....speed is more important. Memory isn't cheap enough to ignore. It limits the number of backends you can run and the amount of caching you can do. Being careful with memory will get a lot more scalability out of your hardware. - Perrin
