in thread Benchmarks for module compilation time

POSIX is another example of a big module that uses AUTOLOAD. I wanted to test that one specifically because sometimes I hear that people are afraid of using it because it is "too big". However, for the "null use" of POSIX, it's one of the fastest to start up. I often use it just because I need a little function such as floor or ceil.

    speed is one thing.

    what might be also interesting is the memory footprint without POSIX, in "null use" and when using 1-2-3 functions.
