Greetings, Hi Mark, (answer to koha-devel, as it's of general interest)
These results look good, but how much memory is on the machine you are testing this on? Would it have the same effect in a VM server type environment limited to 204MB? Is there an amount of memory which makes it behave at similar or worse speeds? I think you missed a 8, and speak of 2048 and not 204MB :D
I haven't tested/checked memory, but what I know for sure is that it costs only a small amount of memory. Plack pre-load a lot of things that are loaded on every page by cgi-bin anyway. So you would have 'spent' that memory at run time. Depending on Apache configuration, if 5 ppl are requesting a page at the same time, 5 cgi-bin are launched and 5x memory is consummed. So if you run starman instead of plackup (starman being multi-thread, plackup single thread), the result will be the same. What we have to be *very* careful with is memory hole that result in an always increasing memory consumption. In CGI mode, as everything is freed/deleted after each page, any memory hole is painless. With plack, memory hole will pile up and, at the end ... booom !
