in reply to Perl v5.6.1 looking for .pmc files
Check your filesystem. 2-3 seconds for 600 stats sounds
awfully slow to me. On my AIX box I get around 1000 in
about a tenth of a second. If you are running over NFS, your general
performance could be slow.
Also, it might be nice to see how quick your script starts up the *second* time (i.e. after filesystem info is cached).
