Re^3: Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.

in reply to Re^2: Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.
in thread Speeding up Apache RewriteMap script.

In your OP you said "As this script is going to be hit so many times by the webserver, I wondered if anyone had ideas on speeding it up?"

So if that is no longer perceived to be the case, I guess we can close this issue now?

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 -=( Graq )=-	[reply] [d/l] [select]
