Bug#317518: New version of libsql-statement-perl is very, very much slower

[Paul Beardsell]

Package: libsql-statement-perl
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal


I depend upon libsql-statement-perl to manage small
plain text databases of approx 2000 rows.  Performance
was fine in the version of libsql-statement-perl
which came with woody but the newer version in sarge
is very, very much slower.  I understand this may
be because because C code in the former version has
been replaced with Perl code.  Fine, but this makes
the package nearly unusable for me because of the
performance problem.  I do not want to have to switch
over to SQLite.
