Re^2: Improving script that uses xmllint to validate

Now the question is - is there any way to 'pin' the created hash structure to memory so that any process making use of the data can refer to it using some 'memory namespace'.
Whats that mean? Maybe I'm ignorant, but isn't that how every program works?

Hash gets created in the memory and will stay as long as the instance ( process ) that built is resident in the memory. What am looking for is - `Process 'A' is spawned Build hash data structure with 1 M entries Assign a namespace ( example name : h-m1 ) to the above Now process 'A' dies off, but h-m1 should still be resident in the mem +ory that is they have to be resident even after the process which cre +ated terminates.` [download] Now when another instance of process 'A' is spawned, without having to reconstruct the hash data structure with 1M entries, it should simply do a lookup using the namespace 'h-m1' ( or something like that ) Am trying to achieve some optimization on the time taken to construct the hash of 1M entries which is a big win for my script Is that possible? Many thanks in advance :)	[reply] [d/l]

Process 'A' is spawned
Build hash data structure with 1 M entries
Assign a namespace ( example name : h-m1 ) to the above
Now process 'A' dies off, but h-m1 should still be resident in the mem
+ory that is they have to be resident even after the process which cre
+ated terminates.
