in thread Garbage collection problem??

Which version of cygwin are you using? My results are using cygwin (v1.5.18) and Perl 5.8.7, and don't show the slowdown on the second run....

    Where did I say I was using cygwin? That wouldn't make sense given that I said:

    the blame can likely be placed on the malloc() of Win32's CRTL and that cygwin-built Perls doesn't use that version of malloc()

    But I did find a cygwin perl and see that "perl -V" for it reports "usemymalloc=y" while non-cygwin Win32 Perl reports "usemymalloc=n", as I suspected.

      You didn't ... I just made a (foolish) assumption that you were using it. (I keep thinking that the only Win32 perls are ActiveState and the cygwin-compiled one ... even though I should know better).

        I keep thinking that the only Win32 perls are ActiveState and the cygwin-compiled one.

        Have a look at win32.perl.org.
