I've moved red13 to a faster box.
I also took the time to add some caching to the gedcom app. I had a slight problem figuring out how i should track how fresh file are in the cache. I decided that a solution could be to append at timestamp to the end of the cache key.
My cache keys now look like: 'pagename::timestamp'. Unfortunately, i now have to grep() through the keys to find one that matches, rather than just calling $cache->get() right away.
Having just said that, i think it might be easier to use the gedcom file's timestamp to check the cache -- sort of like a version number. That way i can write $cache->get( $page . '::' . $ts ) right away and if undef is returned, a new file must be generated.
An ugly hack that i'd like to get rid off is how i handle cached and uncached data.
I stop the flow of the CGI::Application in cgiapp_prerun(). This sub will either use cached data, or grab the output of the appropriate runmode then stuff it into a CGI::App parameter. No matter which runmode was called it will always end up going to a "show_output" mode which simply return the value of said CGI::App parameter. Ah well, it works.
Download the code, if you want. I'll be making more changes soon.
