Thought I'd add another 6.5 nightly success story to the pile..
I was fixin' to whine about some 6.3.1 performance issues and instead
decided to see how much things have improved with 6.5..
So I tried a 6.5 nightly this week on my gentoo sytem. Initially I had
a heck of a time getting the YAML::Syck stuff to work. I merged new
versions of those packages but it didn't really help. It kept barfing
when parsing config files.
I finally found this thread (for the second time - first time got me
interested) and using Bin/build-perl-modules.pl made all the
difference..
I switched my main system over to the nightly a couple of nights ago, still couldn't get YAML::Syck to compile. This time build-perl-modules.pl didn't work either, but I still had the old install from August 10, so I just copied its CPAN modules over instead. I've started to upgrade my plugins, and there's some trouble with preferences, but this is still a very promising beta build, and I'm glad I made the switch.

It's doing a full rescan right now, while a vmware workstation image consumes 20 percent of the user CPU. Used to be that a full rescan would send system load to just under 4.
