for ALL my models -> same speed.

Yes, that's definitely strange and interesting and warrants further
investigation...

Down another avenue: I haven't tried this myself as I don't have 20
different schemas/models to load at once, and so I'm not sure if it would
break things, but you might try this hack in your mod_perl startup.pl thingy
before the app loads:

--------------------------------------
use Class::C3;
{
    no warnings 'redefine';
    local *Class::C3::reinitialize     my @schema_classes ..... /;
    $_->require for (@schema_classes);
}
Class::C3::reinitialize();
--------------------------------------

It might screw up source registrations, I'm not sure at this point.  If it
does, perhaps we can make some changes in DBIC to make this sort of hack
possible (or even make a sane patch for globally lazy C3 reinit with some
sort of sane interface).
