For some of my applications I use "hostmonster" and it works fine. However, when I use Perl/CGI the program starts from the beginning and the memory population happening each client request. This kills the efficiency of the process. Say reading the file to RAM takes 5 seconds whereas the solution itself takes a fraction of a second. Is there any simple solution to make my application be held persistently (always running) in the memory when I use the external host server.
