Thank you for your clever comment.
In fact 100 was a (bad) example. There will be between 1000 and 1500 ads, an average 30 ads modified by day, and an average 20.000 unique visitors by day.
Instead of a next clever (!) comment, recommendation about the howto would be fine :)
Comment on Re^2: General question (speed, disk access etc)
1000-1500 ? then store them in memory, maybe shared.
Modifications: you can create helper script that will merge all adds and refresh cache (or cache source) (put them together to all ads file, modify shared memory, ...)
usefull cpan modules: Cache, Cache::Memory, Cache::Memcached, IPC::Shareable
