customer reported:

    I just ran REGMON to investigate some software I'm playing with
    and find that
    SLIM.EXE is performing hundreds of lookups per second continuously:

Comment 1 Vidur Apparao 2004-12-04 14:17:41 UTC

The lookups seem related to generating the web interface (regmon shows activity
every time we refresh the page). My guess is that it's originating somewhere in
perl guts. I'm not particularly worried about it as a stop-ship bug, though it's
probably worth investigating for performance reasons. I'll keep the bug open,
but don't plan on pushing it for 5.4.1.

Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2005-03-11 15:25:08 UTC

This is internal to perl and out of our control.  Unless it's a serious performance issue, I say we let it go.

Comment 3 Chris Owens 2008-12-18 11:53:52 UTC

Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
