Hey all! I've never posted a question here, but I thought this would be a good a place to ask as any... So here goes.

I just compiled Perl 5.6.0 on my Cobalt Qube 2700WG (it came with 5.004 IIRC)... and i've noticed that it seems to take a while for the interpreter to load up and then plow through my code. It doesn't seem to be terribly slow processing the code... (I've yet to run thorough benchmarks, just simple time()s and then subtracting the difference) and even on longer ones it doesn't seem to be all too noticable from a Celeron 300... but all that aside, I was wondering if anyone knew why it would take it such a long time to start out...

Its severely affecting some CGI scripts I'm writing, as it seems to take -forever- to load the interpreter and then do its thing, which isn't an issue using PHP to do even more complex things, so again, its not lackluster CPU performance (it's a R4000 @ 100MHz running Linux 2.0.34 FYI)... But since it doesn't do it elsewhere, I'm not certain what to make of it. I would rather things ran smoothly on all platforms I could be putting these things on, so it's something I would like to address at some point.

So, if anyone has a clue, that would be awesome, if not, it's back to prodding around it, eh?

Many thanks in advance!
