Perl is of course slower. But that sounds pathological. For roughly equivalent work, I would expect slimserver to be 3 to 5 times slower than a C coded routine doing equivalent work. Can you tell us some more about your library? Like number of files, how close to the CPU is the storage (hard disk inside case, USB hard disk, etc). -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18586 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
