Re: mod_perl2 installed, but scripts still slow

[Jonathan Vanasco <suppressed>]

look up

Apache::DBI
and
Apache::DBI::connect_on_init

that should speed up your system quite a bit - as you're connecting  
to the DB on every request

you can also pre-cache your Petal templates on startup- if you're  
using the 2.19 patch, just pass in the 'cache_only' flag, and it will  
compile to disk+memory

you have petal's disk caching off too.  having that on will save a  
chunk of time between restarts and child processes
