What kind of complexity did you put into your test template? I've found that deep loops with plenty of IF/ELSE logic are a good way to stress HTML::Template. > The code generated by HTML::Template::JIT still contains calls to > Perl's library and object system, doesn't it?

It makes a few, mostly to get param values from SVs, but it makes a lot fewer than you might imagine. The template text itself and all the branching and looping logic is compiled into pure C code. > How do you benchmark HTML::Template::JIT?

I use a script called benchmark.pl in the scripts/ directory of the HTML::Template::JIT distribution. It uses Benchmark.pm in a fairly standard fashion. If I wanted to run some benchmarks with your code what JVM should I use? I think I have some version of Sun's 1.4 JRE installed but I seem to remember something about it not being very fast. -sam ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
