It's certainly the slowest option available. That hasn't hurt us sofar, and we've had some high-profile events (during the Miss Universe competition we had about 40 million hits per day). On the other hand, we're getting so big that I'm now looking into the faster options (TT2, Template::Alloy), because shaving 50ms off every request adds up.

Rhesa,
I hadn't noticed Template::Alloy before. It does like interesting as an
option that is like HTML::Template with the dot notation, but faster.
It doesn't support filters, which is an H::T feature that I use, but I
could find a way to do that pre-processing before handing the templates
off to Allow.

Yeah, lack of filters is slightly annoying, but I'm sure that's easy to work around.

I'm not thrilled that the Alloy  H::T mode includes every templating
feature on the sun, but perhaps they could be ignored.

As I understand it, all of the extra features are turned off by default when you use the HT mode: see the NO_TT flag under "CONFIGURATION (HTML::Template STYLE)".

But I base that solely on reading the documentation, I haven't really tried it.

I had followed HTML::Template::Compiled with interest in the past, but
now it has become a suite of about 20 modules with more features and
complexity than suits me.

Yeah, I tend to agree. I took it for a spin briefly, and it's fast enough. But it specifically didn't implement the feature I needed (nested variables), so I basically ignore it now.

If you do try Template::Alloy, I'll be interested to hear a review of
that.

I've put it on my to-do list :)
Hiveminder rocks, BTW.
