One thing I noticed is that script execution speed seems to have gotten
dreadfully slow in 64-bit 7.0 - roughly 6x slower.
I have a simple script that repeats 5000 times, adding to a counter and
populating and sorting a list with seven items. It takes just a little
less than 4x as long to execute under LC 7 Server as it does under any
previous version.
I submitted this hopeful but perhaps unlikely request not long ago:
64-bit build of v6.7
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13606
For many of us who don't need Unicode, 6.7 is a great solution. Server
environments are harsh mistresses, demanding that we cull every
unnecessary clock cycle and k of RAM to maintain reasonable scalability.
6.7 delivers that for us, and will be increasingly useful as v8 adds
radically powerful features with unknowable but anticipatable cost to
both RAM and CPU time.
As Donald Knuth said, "Premature optimization is the root of all evil."
No expects a free ride with both new capabilities and trimmer, faster
performance.
A 64-bit build of v6.7 would buy us time to move the platform forward
with features and eventual optimization, while supporting
mission-critical work where performance matters today.
