So I tried it out via package install ( which is very cool compared to former times, installing el-packages with dependencies like CPAN does -> MENU > Options > Manage Emacs Packages )

my first impression was bad it was pretty slow ... till I realized that it's also running perlcritic in the background.

after temporarily deactivating Perlcritic ( M-x customize-group flycheck > Flycheck Checkers ) it worked smoothly and looks easier to maintain! :)

Will still have to look into optimizing the appearance ...

    I occasionally have my windows-emacs hanging several seconds when using flycheck

    according to the maintainer

    I think it's safe to resort to flymake then.

    update

    probably my perceived problems with perlcritic blocking were just Windows related...
