I don’t think it’s silly. The Mouse is precompiled essentially being XS (when built with it). I expected it to be faster actually but regular old Perl often surprises me with how fast it is. I tend to forget that most of why stuff at work is slow is awful DB code and not just the awful Perl we have. :P Doing thousands of objects and methods would probably make the Mouse a clear winner. So it would depend on how big/complex the code chains will end up.

Start up time is only a (serious) issue if running plain CGI as executables; which is a terrible way to do things but still the easiest. Our codebase at work is 50% legacy CGI that was finally taking 3 seconds to return simple pages—code bloat and universal loading of all the libs we have. Making it persistent (pre-compiled by a master server) fixed (most of the outward perception of) that.
