in reply to Cache::FileCache, CPU utilization, and bottlenecks ....

I second the advice about profiling your handler. Keep in mind though, Cache::FileCache is relatively slow compared to some cache modules. See this page for some comparisons.

    Another option to consider would be Cache::Memcached; it's supposed to be quite fast.
      well, i've started working towards that today ...but i need to track down some socket errors, specifically:
      Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 + at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Socket.pm line 373

      i found the problem. i wasn't passing the port on the IP address ... DOH!

    i'll check those benchmarks, and possibly shift to another, faster caching mechanism.

    peak times for this site hammers the server, and since it's not a dedicated one, i need to make sure it's as fast as can be so other domains don't start getting denied requests (from timeouts or whatever)
