in reply to Re^3: Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.
in thread Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.

Apologies for not being clear.

Apache opens the script and holds it open for its lifetime. RewriteMap writes to it (hence the while(<STDIN>){..} loop) and waits for output from STDOUT.

For every such mapping (read: every http request), the lookup method is called. I assumed that that is where the main speed up could be attained.

Although I'm not sure how moot this is with merlyn's reply in play
