Linux::Smaps

Hi,

after having been told by Ævar that Linux::Smaps is really slow I tuned it a
bit. Here is what I get. "new" is version 0.07, "old" is 0.06:

perl -MBenchmark=:all,:hireswallclock -MData::Dumper -e '
  sub tm {
    my ($title)=@_;
    if( my $pid=open my $fh, "-|" ) {
      local $/;
      my $s=readline $fh;
      $s=~s/\A(.+\n)//;
      print $1;
      my $VAR1;
      return eval $s;
    } else {
      require Linux::Smaps;
      print Dumper +timethis -20, sub {Linux::Smaps->new->all}, $title;
      exit 0;
    }
  }
  my %res=(old=>tm "old");
  unshift @INC, "lib";
  $res{new}=tm "new"; cmpthese \%res
'
       old: 20.9829 wallclock secs (20.49 usr +  0.45 sys = 20.94 CPU) @ 70.87/s (n=1484)
       new: 21.0381 wallclock secs (19.09 usr +  1.92 sys = 21.01 CPU) @ 322.42/s (n=6774)
      Rate  old  new
old 70.9/s   -- -78%
new  322/s 355%   --

Meanwhile Ævar uploaded his own quite specialized smaps parser
(Linux::Smaps::Tiny) to CPAN. Here is what I get in comparison:

perl -Ilib -MLinux::Smaps -MLinux::Smaps::Tiny \
     -MBenchmark=:all,:hireswallclock -e '
  cmpthese timethese -5, {
    tiny=>sub{Linux::Smaps::Tiny::get_smaps_summary},
    smaps=>sub{scalar Linux::Smaps->new->all}
  }
'
Benchmark: running smaps, tiny for at least 5 CPU seconds...
     smaps: 5.0982 wallclock secs ( 4.56 usr +  0.47 sys =  5.03 CPU) @ 365.81/s (n=1840)
      tiny: 5.51047 wallclock secs ( 4.63 usr +  0.83 sys =  5.46 CPU) @ 591.58/s (n=3230)
       Rate smaps  tiny
smaps 366/s    --  -38%
tiny  592/s   62%    --

I've just uploaded 0.06 of Linux::Smaps::Tiny. It'll use C XS code to
parse the file by default, falling back to the pure-perl version if
there's no compiler on the system:

    $ perl -Ilib -MLinux::Smaps -MLinux::Smaps::Tiny
-MLinux::Smaps::Tiny::PP     -MBenchmark=:all,:hireswallclock -e '
     cmpthese timethese -5, {
       tiny=>sub{Linux::Smaps::Tiny::get_smaps_summary},
       tiny_pp=>sub{Linux::Smaps::Tiny::PP::__get_smaps_summary},
       smaps=>sub{scalar Linux::Smaps->new->all}
     }
    '
    Benchmark: running smaps, tiny, tiny_pp for at least 5 CPU seconds...
         smaps: 5.3729 wallclock secs ( 4.42 usr +  0.93 sys =  5.35
CPU) @ 792.52/s (n=4240)
          tiny: 5.42358 wallclock secs ( 2.94 usr +  2.46 sys =  5.40
CPU) @ 2082.59/s (n=11246)
       tiny_pp: 5.39001 wallclock secs ( 4.02 usr +  1.36 sys =  5.38
CPU) @ 1029.18/s (n=5537)
              Rate   smaps tiny_pp    tiny
    smaps    793/s      --    -23%    -62%
    tiny_pp 1029/s     30%      --    -51%
