Have you actually benchmarked Storable ? Its pretty fast indeed. I have
been using it with file caches (its part of Cache::Cache) and databases
(postgres, mysql, firebird) for quite some time and thawing an object or
data structure just does not have that much overhead.
If you have really large data structures and you want to freeze and thaw
only certain slices of them perhaps Tie::MLDBM might be what you are
looking for.
