I am getting to a point in a project using OIO where I'll need to generate and query lots of short-lived objects, with speed being a concern. I have yet to code that aspect of the project and I have been wondering how OIO is going to fare in that kind of situation.
I was therefore very much interested in this use perl thread: http://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal/37775. I ran the same benchmark on my machine and added Object::InsideOut to the mix (see code below). I found that OIO performs at about the same level as Moose (the non-immutable version) unfortunately.
I was wondering if you had seen this particular use perl thread (from last November) and had any comments. I am particularly intrigued by the 'immutable' option of Moose, is the concept applicable to OIO?
Thanks
