There are some very old benchmarks here:
http://chamas.com/bench/#2000

These are not ideal though, because they compare the cost of using Mason 
as your controller and templating system to the cost of a simple 
mod_perl handler plus TT.  What you really want is a benchmark comparing 
them through Catalyst.

Regarding your TT performance issues, there are some common things to 
do, which you can find in the TT list archives.  I'd still like to see 
your dprof output sorted by real time, since it seems impossible that a 
TT template could take 4 seconds unless it's doing something like 
fetching from a database or the TT cache is turned off.
