PPI (Score:1)

by Alias (5735) on 2006.04.19 11:00 (#47267) Homepage Journal

PPI is slow. Really slow. It handles about 1500 lines per gigacycle (on average) but when you run it against a big directory of stuff, it still feels really slow.

I've optimised (and in a few places micro-optimised) the hell out of it. I really don't know what more I can do. Maybe there's something there for you.

One clue that sticks out is that UNIVERSAL::isa (the function) shows up in some of my profiling reports for it.

Perhaps there's something that could be done to make UNIVERSAL::isa faster?
