SERVICES I was doing some experiments with a small PerlEx script as well as the 
env.plex example script.

At first the performance was very fast, as advertised.

I then started doing some tests using a web performance tool. Again, for 
most of the day, the two scripts averaged 20ms response time.

However, when I simulated 4 users simultaneously and continuously 
hitting the web site, the web server begun to respond very slowly. Even 
after unloading the PerlEx virtual directory, each call to env.plex took 
several minutes, both from the testing tool and from the browser.

When viewed from the browser, all of the expected output was displayed 
on the screen, but the browser didn't consider the page to be done 
loading for several minutes.

This problem went away after rebooting.

I need to know what happened since I was planning to use PerlEx to 
support customers.
Does anyone have any leads?

Thanks in advance
