1) in 5 years the computers will be faster ... actually there is that law that will tell you how much faster it will be ... 2) you can often get complex code to run faster by optimizing parts of code that are your bottleneck ( threading, caching, reusable objects, iteration vs recursion, etc ...

agreed 100% ... but I think that perl lends itself to cryptic code where java lends itself to order ... which is agreed is limiting in some aspects -Original Message- From: Brett W. McCoy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 2:08 PM To: Maciejewski, Thomas Cc

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 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECT

how about all of the issues involved with spawning off processes ... in java servlets I know this is handled because the servlet is always running ... you may end up with a more efficient system and easier to debug code and all of the other benifits from OO ... pretty much all around better by

this is the ole flame war argument ... the basis of this in my opinion is what do you need to be faster? I would rather look for bottlenecks and optimize them than to optimize everything depending on what you are doing C could be much faster I am of the mindset to have clearer code and code

I am having an issue when spawning a child it appears that the environment variable is not being passed to the child process here is the code: my $kidpid = open($fh, "-|"); if (! $kidpid) { open(STDERR, "> /dev/null"); # rlog may complain; ignore.
