I've been using the DB_File $DB_BTREE module to create groups and sort them on an 8 million record file. Is there a faster way to do this or am I still getting pretty good perfomance with this module?
What performance are you getting now?
Try benchmarking your code by doing something like this:
use Benchmark::Timer;
$t = Benchmark::Timer->new(skip => 1); for(0 .. 1000) {
$t->start('tag');
&long_running_operation();
$t->stop;
}
$t->report;<http://search.cpan.org/~andrewho/Benchmark-Timer-0.5/Timer.pm>
Or try the older Benchmark module:
<http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.5/lib/Benchmark.pm>
Send us the output of your benchmarks and then we'll be able to address the question of whether or not you're getting "pretty good performance".
