I'm not at all clear about the source of your numbers.

I benchmarked.

Your code:

Result: Memory usage: 64.3MB CPU:4:54 minutes.

threads::shared:

Results: Memory usage: 21.1MB CPU usage: 7.1 seconds.

I find it hard to believe that my code even unoptimized has a 4-fold increase in total memory consumption over shared variables when only one thread has a copy of $oData and all the other threads request individual bits of data on an as-needed basis.

Don't believe; measure.

... I can't possibly see how deep copying 1G of data to each thread (10G total) would be better than 1G held by a server thread and 1K held by 10 client threads (1G+10K total). ...

You are just guessing. I benchmarked.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
