Holy cow, that's a lot of code for $counter++! I hate SysV IPC so, so much.

Is it really so fast though? MySQL is storing that data on disk and it's only 4x slower! Is disk 4x slower than memory? No, it's much, much slower. SysV. IPC. Sucks.

If you feel like running more benchmarks for me, change the MySQL one to use a MEMORY table. Then at least you won't have disk writes dragging MySQL down.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
