Until a future release where fetchall_arrayref will magically work without the per-row-per-method-call overhead and suddenly become many times faster... Tim. p.s. This only applies to drivers using the Driver.xst template code supplied by the DBI - most compiled drivers do, pure-perl drivers don't.
