Re^3: large perl module

[minek]

Within Apache it might be of course different,
but judging from running a test perl script from command line, the load time of the script/module is below 0.5s
And the MaxRequestsPerChild is actually set to 10000.
So it should be fine..

Thanks, Dan

And then your webserver has to service 1000 requests per second and it goes down every 10 seconds. It is not just the loading of the module that needs to be taken into account, but also the time spent in cleanly destroying the child workers and restarting them. That can actually take a lot longer and thus you want to keep the total time as short as possible, by avoiding long loading times of modules. Every second saved helps.

It is just a gut feeling, but a database solution feels more efficient to me.
