Testing object creation and 2 method-calls, gives a 25% speedup

Testing object creation and 200 method-calls (to lessen the overhead of creating the object), gives an impresive 78% speedup

use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark 'cmpthese';
use lib ('blib/lib', 'blib/arch');
use CMethods;
use PerlMethods;


my($x, $y);

cmpthese(
  50_000, {
  cMethods => sub {
    my $c = CMethods->new;
    for (1..100) {
      $x = $c->x; $y = $c->y;
    }
  },
  PerlMethods => sub {
    my $c = PerlMethods->new;
    for (1..100) {
      $x = $c->x; $y = $c->y;
    }

Here's the code I used:

PerlMethods.pm

package PerlMethods;
use strict;

sub new {
  my ($pckg, $x, $y) = @_;
  
  my $self = { x => $x, y => $y };
  
  return bless $self, $pckg;
}


sub x {
  my ($self) = @_;
  
  return $self->{x};
}


sub y {
  my ($self) = @_;
  
  return $self->{y};
}

CMethods.pm

our @ISA = qw();

our $VERSION = '0.01';

require XSLoader;
XSLoader::load('CMethods', $VERSION);


sub new {
  my ($pckg, $x, $y) = @_;
  
  my $self = { x => $x, y => $y };
  
  return bless $self, $pckg;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
