I did some testing when we were discussing this on clpmisc, and found that at least FreeBSD has the same poor performance as Win32 when perl is built without -Dusemymalloc. (The issue is much more severe on Win32, since it's impossible to build with both pseudofork and usemymalloc.) BenThread Previous | Thread Next
