NAME
Class::Std::Fast_XS - speed up Class::Std::Fast by adding some XS code
SYNOPSIS
use Class::Std::Fast_XSDESCRIPTION
Speeds up Class::Std::Fast by replacing it's accessors/mutators and DESTROY method by XS variants.
The speed gain varies by platform:
Using perl 5.8.8 on Ubuntu 8.04 (32bit) Linux, the measured speed gain is around 7.5% for accessors (getters) and around 35% for mutators (setters). DESTROY was around 220% faster on this platform.
On a RHEL 5.0 box (64bit) with perl-5.8.8 the speed gain is around 40% for getters and around 60% for setters.
The speed gain on ActivePerl 5.8.8 (822) on Windows XP built with MinGW/MSYS/gcc is around 45%
ActivePerl 5.10 (1001) on Windows XP yielded around 30% for accessors and 50% for mutators.
USAGE
All you have to do is to require this module before you load/create Class::Std::Fast- based classes. More precisely, all Class::Std::Fast-based attributes (:ATTR) after loading Class::Std::Fast_XS will be affected.
If you're running a mod_perl environment, you should probably load Class::Std::Fast_XS from your apache config or your startup.pl.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Loading
Only attributes detected after loading are affected.
Only classes created after loading are affected by DESTROY
No object cache
Class::Std::Fast's DESTROY does not support Class::Std::Fast's object cache yet. This does not mean that classing using the object_cache facility don't work, it just means that the object_cache has no effect yet.
