RE: mod_perl

["Jeff Carnahan" <tails@hooked.net>]

Actually, the great thing about MV is that it doesn't spawn a perl process
for each request. It runs one main perl process that waits for requests from
either vlink or tlink.

Every time you hit the server with another request, you're actually
launching the small tlink or vlink compiled C program, which then
communicates with the perl-based daemon running in the background..

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but is there any way to make
minivend use the apache mod_perl instead of spawning perl each time?

I've got a dual P233 with 128MB ram, and if I run the apache benchmark
program against minivend with 150 requests, 30 concurrent, it takes an
average time of around 31 seconds to return each page.  I recompiled perl
with all sorts of optimizations also, and it only took about 1 second off
the time.  My entire site runs through minivend to preserve the
functionality of it, and I fear that when this particular site gets posted
to slashdot.org, and hardocp.com, 30 concurrent requests will be the minimum
it's getting.  My load average hits about 10.70 while it's trying to process
these also.  I guess I can do the static page option, but I don't want to do
that for the entire site.
