Speeding Up Movable Type Without mod_perl
Fedora uses Apache 2 and mod_perl2, which is completely incompatible with Movable Type. Even under Apache::compat, there are a lot of problems which I got tired of debugging.
Since I’m using it for SmokePing, I already had CGI::Speedy installed, and figured I’d try it with Movable Type. The only thing to change is the shebang line in mt.cgi (and the others, I suppose), from
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
to
#!/usr/bin/speedy -w
Instant performance increase. I didn’t take any measurements, but it’s noticeable.
BTW, SpeedyCGI can be installed from CPAN:
# perl -MCPAN -e ‘install CGI::SpeedyCGI’
I’ve also done this to mt-comments.cgi and mt-tb.cgi and all tests appear to work well. I’ve also changed the shebang line to
#!/usr/bin/speedy -w — -M5 -g
to limit speedy to using 5 worker tasks, and to have all the CGIs share one set of worker tasks. My machine doesn’t have a lot of memory, and traffic is low, so YMMV.
