Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to attack this? If say this script when i run it via the web as the only one running it - it then executes and displays the required information in 10 seconds. Now if 20 people or even say 10 invoke this perl program via the web at the same time or within a few seconds of each other then it splits the cpu usage between the 10 or 20 invokations of the perl program. Now where the problem hits is even though the script works in a timely fashion at near 90+ percent cpu availability when mulitple instances of it are invoked and it is only gettin 8 or 10 or 15 or even 20 % per invokation the execution time is enormous as much as 3 minutes to complete and display. Whats even worse is most people become impatiant and hit reload cause even more cpu splitting between the scripts slowing it down even more? Now how do you attack something like this?
