in thread Efficient way to handle huge number of records?

I will be installing an IBM power 7 p-series p740 with 128GB in January.

12 (or 16) cores, 48 (or 64 threads) 3.7(or 3.55)GHz. Drool! Slobber! :)

The start of some sanity?

    BrowserUk,

    Actually it's a 8 core, 32 threads, 3.7GHz. But it's not for me. I have a few IBM hardware resellers that use my services to install p-series products. This is going into a company to upgrade an oracle installation running on a p640. But its the latest model announced in October ( which doubled everything ). But I agree with you--wish it was for me :-)

    I wouldn't even mind if Perl was 5 times as big, who cares! But I will be able to do some tests on it.

    Anything you want to test?

    Thank you
