Well - this is not that absurd as you seem to think - the meaning of
that  "100x slow down" depends much on where it happens.  If it
happens in a tight loop - then it can be harmful - if it happens on
some one-off operation then it mostly does not really matter.  It is
not that using Moose slows your application 100 times - it can slow
some parts of it - but how that relates to the overall performance -
this depends on many things.  I think that most of Catalyst users
found that it's port to the Moose framework did not slow their
applications much - but there sure there will be some cases that this
change was introducing some problems.  Unfortunately it's always about
tradeoffs.  But if you have a real-life example where the port caused
a 100 times slow down - then I am sure the developers here would like
to hear about the details.
