Well I do not have experience with Perl on the Mac, and limited experience with Perl on Windows. However you may want to look at other issues with your systems, since many users here do not suffer the issues you have. I was running SC7 on an older Athlon Socket A processor (forgot the exact model) with 512MB of RAM with no issues. Only reason it is still not on that machine is because I upgraded my workstation and the trickle down effect upgraded it. SC7 currently is using about 65MB resident memory, MySQL is ~12MB. That is extremely acceptable. Oh and Firefox core is written in C++, however the UI is done mostly in JavaScript and XUL. They most likely decided to do the UI this way (instead of a "real language" :) ) to lend to making Plugins easier. This is just a guess but I am betting that a good chunk of the memory footprint in Firefox comes from the UI. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
