Here we instantiate a huge number of objects - most of which have quite short lifetimes - but dropping their objectiness and using plain ol' hashes would be very much a retrograde step: but then, the underlying data structures can be quite complex. Certainly our short object lifetimes are a good argument against using Moose, at least until it gets faster. > > Is this for a new installation or application, or are you intending to > > port an existing code-base to Moose? > Most likely for new applications or libraries.
