hi, just a quick note for those folk out there running lots of PERL DBI things etc with their FreeRADIUS systems on CentOS/RHEL - theres been a problem with PERL with this distro for some time - massive speed penalty - over 100x slower than ubuntu/suse/etc etc
this quick PERL script should complete in a sub-second #!/usr/bin/perl use overload q(<) => sub {}; my %h; for (my $i=0; $i<50000; $i++) { $h{$i} = bless [ ] => 'main'; print STDERR '.' if $i % 1000 == 0; } on an affected box it takes several seconds....anyway, just to let people know that I can now confirm CentOS have release their patch/fix so all is back to normal. cannot confirm RHEL. anyway, all PERL DBI stuff is now back to the full speed. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
