Re: Perl threads loss of performance with system call

Because Perl doesn't have real lightweight, shared memory threads like you post is making me think might think (through perhaps no fault of your own).

You haven't mentioned anything about the computing environment - virtual, bare metal, one CPU, many vCPUs, etc? Can you replicate this via bash backgrounding child processes?

Trust me, if you want to do real threading, `perl` is the wrong tool. If you're cool with fork, it is. Check out MCE as suggested, or my personal hammer, Parallel::ForkManager. PDL::ParallelCPU looks interesting, but I have not tried it out. That said, if you want to feel "perlish" yet have real SMP threading, checkout out Qore.	[reply] [d/l]
