The problem here is not with the ORM but rather that you are breaking

place to
put the test.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can confirm, but I think the ORM
known as DBIC does indeed Cache Stuff.
Yes, I know DBIC is not the only ORM.
Can cache stuff. Does not by default. Caching is hard (you have to
invalidate it etc. etc.)
See:

http://search.cpan.org/~mstrout/DBIx-Class-Cursor-Cached-1.0.1/lib/DBIx/Class/Cursor/Cached.pm
for some of the ways caching can be done.
