I have tested HTML::Template::Compiled and I found it as the fastest
templating system.
It is much much faster than Template-Toolkit, much faster than
HTML::Template, and faster than HTML::Template::JIT.
I have made the tests under Windows 2000.
I didn't use the Benchmark module for making this test, but I have made
something like this:
my $begin = time();
use HTML::Template::Compiled;
for (1 .. 15000) {
#Here define the variables hashref, and get the result of the template
($template->output) but without printing it.
}
my $end = time() - $begin;
print $end;
Well, the module HTML::Template::Compiled was faster than
HTML::Template::JIT, even though the last one uses Inline::C for compiling
the result.
HTML::Template::Compiled also has some added features that HTML::Template
and HTML::Template::JIT don't have.
Unfortunately, HTML::Template::Compiled is not very well finished, so it
doesn't give very helpful errors telling about the names of the
uninitialized variables, so it is pretty hard to repair the templates.
It compiles the templates as perl code, creating modules, and those modules
are kept in memory when used with mod_perl, so they are very fast in that
case.
