hi.

actually, no. The CPU starts to bog down immediately and the CPU nearly pegs before the process image is even 15% of available RAM. No swaping, no paging.

Try running the program and notice the slowdown with the Handles but not the hashes... Sockets will slow the program down too, but be sure to send() at least one character (if you don't call send() with at least one character, it doesn't happen... similar to the open/close effect for the FD).

It isn't about the Handle objects being slower than ordinary hashes, it is about the wall time to process each Handle going to infinity while all system resources seem to be in ample supply. For regular hashes, the wall time behaves.

This one will require a real guru I am afraid...
