Tyni, It gets worse and worse. My "standard" job run for the purpose of libsql-statement-perl benchmarking:
Box 1: Woody with version 0.1020-2: 173.10s real 124.18s user 0.55s system Box 2: Sarge with version 1.11: 852.88s real 849.86s user 1.55s system Box 2: Sarge with version 1.14-1: 896.71s real 893.45s user 1.55s system Notes: The Woody and Sarge boxes are similar but not exactly the same. The Woody box is live and busy. The Sarge box is otherwise idle. So I cannot directly and exactly compare Woody lib-sql-statement with Sarge except to say that the new pure Perl version is MUCH SLOWER. Also, the purported performance improvements are not there in the 1.11 to 1.14-1 comparison - the package has got slower, not faster. This last comparison I have repeated to make sure I did not make a mistake. Note that Box 2 remained identical between the tests except for the libsql-statement-perl version change. Thanks for looking at this and for all your work generally BUT I am facing a forced move to SQLite - which I do not want to do! My preference is to stay with CSV text databases and libsql-statement-perl. Can we not have a libsql-statement-perl-fast package (which is just the old Woody version) in Sarge? My simple performance tests could easily be duplicated by those claiming performance improvements!
