in reply to Loading large amount of data in a hash
with big data in memory (e.g. hashes of hashes of lists), I prefer using perl 5.005_03 to perl 5.6 or 5.61, because it takes about 20% less memory and sometimes saves quite a lot of runtime.
In a case I'm just working with, the statistics are about like the following:
| version | cpu-time | memory |
| 5.005_03 | ~ 25 minutes | 480 MB |
| 5.6.1 | ~80 minutes | ~600 MB |
Best regards,
perl -le "s==*F=e=>y~\*martinF~stronat~=>s~[^\w]~~g=>chop,print"
