Conclusion and Resources
June 19, 2000
We don't have the hubris to suggest that our final code is the most
optimized script possible; or even that our optimizations are the be-all and
end-all of tweaks and tuning. In fact, there are many more tweaks available
which span the distance from specific techniques in Perl, to Apache
configurations, to operating system fundamentals. Reality constrains most of
us from exploring every conceivable performance boost, and so we've
completed the mod_perl trilogy with common performance enhancers that
provide the most bang-for-the-buck.
Jeffrey W. Baker's
"Application Performance using DBI and mod_perl"
nicely details and integrates much of the database optimizations we've
surveyed here.
Stas Bekman's Performance Tuning section of his mod_perl guide
contains thorough, gory details for those who want hard numbers and nearly
every tweak imaginable.
The
DBI documentation provides a concise overview of
working with database calls, especially with regards to performance and the
statement handle.
