I'm not familiar with the RedHat releases, but I doubt it's one of these. Kernel 2.4.18 is mostly fixed, and the Postgres 7.2 is faster then 6.4 and 7.0. One would think it's not an issue with the filesystem (whether it be ext3 or ReiserFS or whatever), since the data should be cached. Other things to check are the indexes on the table, PostgreSQL optimizations (/etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf), and other standard things. > How can you be SURE it's embperl?

On the 'new' machine, install 1.3.1, keeping everything else the same. 1.3.1 and 2.0b7 use different namespaces (HTML::Embperl:: and Embperl::), and will happily co-exist. I'm doing it on my lowly server and it's quite happy.
