Making things run faster

I am processing some terabytes of information on a computer having 8 processors (each with 4 cores) with a 16GB RAM and 5TB hard drive implemented as a RAID. The processing doesn't seem to be blazingly fast perhaps because of the IO limitation.

I am basically running a perl script to read some data and then either modify it a little or grep something out of it and writing it back to disk. Could someone please tell me if there is a superior method I could use to improve performance?

NAME
Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe7 - Making Moose fast with immutable VERSION
version 2.0205 SYNOPSIS
package Point; use Moose; has 'x' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'ro' ); has 'y' => ( isa => 'Int', is => 'rw' ); __PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable; DESCRIPTION
The Moose metaclass API provides a "make_immutable()" method. Calling this method does two things to your class. First, it makes it faster. In particular, object construction and destruction are effectively "inlined" in your class, and no longer invoke the meta API. Second, you can no longer make changes via the metaclass API, such as adding attributes. In practice, this won't be a problem, as you rarely need to do this after first loading the class. CONCLUSION
We strongly recommend you make your classes immutable. It makes your code much faster, with a small compile-time cost. This will be especially noticeable when creating many objects. AUTHOR
