It would probably run better. I wouldn't say it would work faster. I know for shure it would have a much bigger memory footprint... :) > OTOH, would it be harder to build, given the dependence of SA on perl modules? This is the main reason for not just starting with it. Besides, if there wasn't SA pluging, I would prefer a C/C++ version of SA. Wouldn't it run better? Wouldn't it be faster, wouldn't have a smaller memory footprint, better reclamation, better hooks for plugins etc? :) giampaolo > > Thoughts? > > -- > Eric A.
