I never saw the code of the perl application myself. All I know
is that it was running on Solaris with mod_perl and a Sybase database.
I think the main reasons for improved performance was related to
application design, as we took care to cache a lot of common queries
with the new design; I don't think the Perl application went out its
way to cache things, in Java we got the caching for free as we used
a third party object relational tool to talk with the database.
