For starters, make sure it's running under something other than just a CGi
that's launching perl every time it's called.  (fast cgi, mod perl, mod_fcgi,
etc.)

Then, try Devel::NYTProf to profile it and see where it's spending all of its
time.

Can anyone suggest ways of detecting sources for the slowness and/or avoiding them? I'm using a profiler on the scripts and the it's a CGI Perl application. Thanks in advance.
