you may want to move to servlets also since servlets (round trip and depending on the ammont of processing going on) should run faster than perl or c cgis

While it is faster, I think the time spent fussing with the porting, etc is not worth it. If you really, really need more speed, I would suggest that throwing more hardware at the problem is probably the better, cheaper way. (Cheaper when you measure the cost of the time you'd spend otherwise...) -J "Agustin Rivera" To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <eleqtriq@ele cc: qtriq.ws> Subject: C vs. Perl 01/02/02 09:10 AM Ok, the local Linux guru has proclaimed that C would be faster than Perl. I know C is very effecient so I don't really doubt him, but my question is.... would it make that much of a difference? I certainly wouldn't mind learning C, the only question is would be worth the time to port our Perl scripts over to it? Right now our setup is Apache w/modperl, and I'm getting quite good at taking advantage of modperl's benefits.
