I agree. But, with XS mouse, you're only cutting the startup time to 0.07s from 0.09s, correct? And really, 14.3 .t/s also sucks vs the 50 .t/s with v0.98, no? Is there a way to remove some of the work Mouse is doing at startup? What is it doing? I did once suggest a pre-loading / forking harness (along the lines of Test::Aggregate), though it would probably be much better to make the test code start faster rather than need to work around it. --Eric -- You can't whack a chisel without a big wooden mallet. --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
