Hi, Originally I thought that it was OK that bug #19085 which I submitted about poor performance in perl was downgraded from "important" to "normal" severity because it only affected one application that I wrote.
But yesterday I upgraded a bo system to hamm which has a 3000 line /etc/passwd. Now adduser takes OVER ONE MINUTE to find a UID and GID for the new user. And my staff is complaining about the wasted time. I fear that this perl bug is serious. But I haven't heard anyone else complain (I have been remiss in reading the lists lately). Am I the only seeing severe performance degradation with Perl 5.004_04 ? Can anyone else with large password files duplicate the problem? -- Christopher J.
