in reply to Perl Module written in C/asm

Be cognizant of "premature optimization" -- Don't drop to C just because you think you ought to, do it when you have to...

Also check out FFI::Platypus. Graham Ollis has a couple of youtube talks about it online: Foreign Function Interface (FFI): Never Need to Write XS Again and FFI Performance

    ctilmes has given you excellent advice. I would add that "when you have to" is usually much more of an economic issue than a technical one. (e.g. Will the improved performance, over the expected life of the program, pay for the added development cost?)
