parkprimus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have a general question. I was wondering if anyone has any expierence using speedy::cgi. Do you like it? Does it do what they claim it will do? Would you recommend something else? Thanks for the input.
Yes I have used it, had no problems with it and it has speeded up scripts a goodly amount.
Running the same script (about 10 mysql queries and a fair bit of perl processing) I get the following times for page generation.
speedy : 0.06 seconds
normal : 0.20 seconds
Bear in mind that the first time you run the script under speedy it will run a bit slower (about 0.22 for me) but subsequent runs will be much faster as shown above.
