Description of problem: Sys::Syslog contains a bug which leads to a huge performance loss. In line 744 of /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Sys/Syslog.pm you can see a select with a timeout of 250ms. This select always times out so we essentially have a sleep here. If you call syslog in a loop as we did in a cgi-script you will experience a slooooow execution time which made our web app almost unusable. This bug is well known and has already been fixed in the syslog version 0.27 (check it here: http://search.cpan.org/~saper/Sys-Syslog-0.27/Syslog.pm (click on "source" and find "connection_ok" function)). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.10.0-56.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: Deterministic behaviour Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Slooow syslog calls Expected results: Fast syslog calls Additional info:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2992 updates Sys-Syslog to 0.27 and should resolve this. Please test it and confirm that it does so. :)
