I feel I can't say anything sensible about this patch: although I've done a lot with threads as a user, I am not qualified to say anything about its internal implementation. But if it fixes the memory leak, I'm all for it even if it would be a general slowdown of threads execution. If you're really interested in speed for parallell processing applications, you either go for a solution with fork, or you don't do it in Perl. LizThread Previous | Thread Next
