When you use patched client and trunk server, you effectively do not wait for the results in the client (even though they are being sent to it). That's why you see the speedup (though the mix would block at some point). No, Perl assignment is not that slow, see numbers above. You see 14->4 saving, and you'll perhaps see a bit more when you use patched server. Everything is correct :).
I disagree. I don't see anything here that is not a Perl client tweak. 200ms for 100k sets is not a significant increase for me. And since it requires a perl client trick of knowing if you are returning a value or not it does not seem that portable to other clients. Not sure how you do that in the PHP, Python, C etc.
