Re^4: the sands of time(in search of an optimisation)

What do you think about POE. Do you think it could be used also in this case for parallelization of the processing ?

If Perl is your problem and why you're moving to forking, why on earth would you do said forking with a massively-large Perl framework vs. a lightweight wrapper around fork? Also, moritz has a good point - have you determined if you're CPU-bound or I/O-bound? Forking or rewriting in C isn't going to help if your disk is pegged. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
