The bug is closed because embedded perl has been ripped out of Nagios 4.
It was impossible to make it leak-free and it caused a lot of issues for
users that some dev inevitably had to answer. Since the standard answer
the past three years has been "disable embedded perl and things will
work again", we (well, I) decided to get rid of it once and for all.
Now the standard answer can be changed to "Upgrade to Nagios 4 and
whatever performance problem you had that caused you to turn to
embedded perl will most likely go away".

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
