Hi there,
we use the Storable module in a very basic way for exactly the
primordial purpose it was written for.
given a somewhat bigger data structure, let's say a 1.4GB large hash
containing some strings as keys and some objects as values, when a
simple
store $self, $file;
is issued ($self is reference to the hash), we see a doubled increase
of memory usage. I.e. the process' vsize then being about 2.8GB. As
you may imagine this is not funny.
When retrieving the data, all behaves well and normal. Memory
consumption is as expected.
Is there any reason why store grabs that much memory? Looks like if a
clone of the data structure would take place in memory.
