Bug #5998 for XML-Validator-Schema: performance of XML::Validator::Schema->new()

[guest - Tue Apr 13 09:47:33 2004]: Show quoted text
Here's my results on my 2ghz Celeron laptop running Perl 5.6.1 and using XML::SAX::Expat as my SAX parser: $ perl bug.pl Using /home/sam/XML-Validator-Schema/blib elapsed time = 0.121279954910278 elapsed time = 0.0977940559387207 I had to use Time::HiRes::time() just to see anything but 0! I'm not sure what's making your runs so slow, but here's a few things to consider: - What SAX parser are you using? You might be using XML::SAX::PurePerl by accident. It's very slow and only useful for development. - What kind of hardware are you running on? I imagine an old Sun IPC might produce the kind of speed you're seeing! - Are you using a UTF8 locale setting? That can drastically slow down Perl, particularly Perl 5.8.x. Try setting LANG to "en_US" and see if that helps. Hope that helps, -sam PS: I closed this bug in RT, but please feel free to email me if you need further help.
