The response you are getting, and having a hard time understanding
apparently, is that the worrying about overhead of accessors is
premature optimization that has no benefit to the scope of your real
application.

Unless you provide a NYTProf of your application showing Catalyst is
the bottleneck, nobody is going to care what you are saying.

I'm not sure why you think Catalyst accessors are so slow... on 5.10+
they are faster than Class::Accessor::Fast.  Startup time is slower,
but runtime is faster.  I'd prefer that.

Oleg, seriously, what are you trying to accomplish here?  You aren't
saying anything helpful and you really aren't good at trolling.  I'm
genuinely curious about your goals and the only reason I (and others)
are bothering to respond to you because your history on the mailing
list.
