But if you use processes for parallelism and not threads, you don't get this slowdown at all and get the same multicore boost. And you don't have to guess which XS module will segfault next. The only case when I find using threads reasonable is writing GUI, where you _have to_ be in the same address space. --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133021Thread Previous | Thread Next
