in reply to Hashing Memory Usage

I notice that your new box is using threaded perl while the old box isn't. That might be something to explore.

Otherwise, please post some code, as Fletch noted. Is the code identical between the two boxes, or did you make any changes going from old to new?

It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.

    The code is identical. We're trying to prove that everything works exactly as it did, before we migrate over.

    Any thoughts on this being to do with 32bit v 64bit architecture?

      64 bit is certainly going to use more memory. Your integers will be bigger. Also, you're using 5.8.2 on the new box and 5.6 on the old. That is likely to make a difference.
