Look, you may be nervous but it doesn't give you a right to be stupid
in public.  That's exactly what you are being.

Did you see my benchmark post? It shows the *exact* same pattern by
simply wrapping a sub around a hash lookup.  This is called
programming.  You do things, it makes the CPU work.  Done.

You have provided absolutely no useful Benchmarking, which would be an
entire request lifecycle against your idea of what a perfect request
would be.

What's your concern?  That your site won't be fast enough?  That's
bogus, because you could just ask, "Hey, who is running high profile,
high demand sites on Catalyst and what are your performance numbers?"
Then you wouldn't be acting like an asshole, and people would help you
out.

It's obvious you are struggling to understand a subject that you
aren't familiar with (performance optimization) and are lashing out at
the obvious things you can find ("A hash ref is faster than a sub,
lets never use a sub!").  Don't.

Spend some time properly benchmarking *your* application and see what
you can do to improve the throughput.  Ask *specific* questions on
*specific* benchmarks.

Right now you are hand waving and making yourself look like a complete
idiot.  You probably don't want to look like an idiot, so try taking
my advice.
