- Has anyone done any benchmarks for a perl built with the sfio library?
- As I understand it, the sfio (Safe/Fast I/O) library offers a considerable
- performance improvement over the stdio library. It includes a source code
- compatibility module to enable plug-in replacement. Has anyone tried it?
-
- On a related subject, is there a clean way to mmap() a file in perl?
- Larry: will v5 be making any use of mmap() (or sfio for that matter)?
-
- Thanks.
