My application seemed slower with Resistry! Using curl to get more accurate statistics I found Registry to be almost 2-3x slower than
PerlRun.

you can't possibly get an accurate comparison from a test that takes only a few seconds seconds to execute.
look into using ab (apache bench, distributed with apache) or Benchmark.pm for your benchmarks instead, and make sure that you make a significant number of requests.
another good resource for this kind of thing is here
