Hey thanks for that... seems to work.
The processes were using a whopping 13M each before. Now they're down to 7.
Still not much of an improvement in speed though. I finally did some tests
with various settings:
It's still taking 8 seconds for my page to respond with results of a lookup.
Playing with mod_perl, I can get that down to 6.5... not too great - and I'm
sure its costing sales.
I tested the old code (not sure version, but before all the XML stuff) gets
response in less than 3 seconds. This is what I consider to be a more
reasonable response time. I don't mind saying that I'm not too happy with
the results... I spent alot of time with the new code, and then more trying
to speed it up. Its damn annoying that I can bust by gut trying to save 1.5
seconds, when I can get a 5 second improvement just by switching back to the
old code.
Is there any way to improve performace more? Is there any reason I
shouldn't switch back to the old code? I upgraded because I figured I'd be
in a better position to be ".biz and .info ready" with a newer version of
code - plus wanted to sell tv, etc... but I'm not sure it was worth all the
effort.
Perhaps the problem isn't even client side... I notice the newer code does
lookups and stuff on a different port... maybe the speed difference is
something to do with that.
