RE: Re (tilly) 1: Speeding-up OO accessor methods

I admit I haven'd done any benchmarking here, but aren't tie-ed variables slower than a simple hash access? The whole point of this hack is to get some speed.</pp>

The whole point of this hack as I see it is to write a ton of code so in the long run you could switch the implementation from hash access (fast) to something slower but more flexible. Being prepared to move to a tied interface later gives you that flexibility without any loss in speed or extra coding and development effort up front. Downstream that extra time will likely matter more anyways.	[reply]
