The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

We have recently migrated 800 sympa lists to a much faster server/connection, 
but rendering the sympa web pages is very slow. MySQL seems to be configured 
OK - indices in-place, etc ... apache is quick to build pages outside of 
sympa's realm ... fcgi is running without errors ... the only clue that I can 
see is that perl is taking a huge amount of CPU when a sympa page is accessed 
-nearly 100%. The size of the perl (5.8.4) binary itself is very large: 

-rwxr-xr-x  2 root root  1057324 2004-09-26 /usr/bin/perl

...compared to the previous perl (5.8.0):

-rwxr-xr-x  2 root root  12572   Aug 13  2003 /usr/bin/perl

...but that could be an anomaly. As you can see, a snapshot of "top" shows 
how perl takes over the cpu when a webpage is hit:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
21309 sympa     17   0 38580  37m 2288 R 88.7  4.3   0:03.81 perl5.8.4
26917 sympa     16   0 67140  61m 2380 S 10.3  6.9  12:38.86 task_manager.pl
  912 root       9   0   628  616  544 S  0.3  0.1   9:20.31 syslogd
26893 sympa      9   0 36748  32m 2416 S  0.3  3.7   3:28.32 sympa.pl


Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
