[Catalyst] Alternatives to Catalyst ?

[Oleg Pronin]

1) param is called often several times (in auto/end etc)
2) The question is not about params, but about accessors speed at all.
If all acessors were XSAccessor for example (catalyst makes a lot of
calls ->stack/action/dispatcher , etc internally during request), then
your overall speed would be 600/s i think)
3) The question is also in approach to programming.
    Why someone writes
    $c->req->...
    $c->req->...
    $c->req->...
    If you know that $c->req is not a fast accessor why do you call it
several times?

    Is it hard to write  ?
    my $req = $c->req;
    $req->
    $req->
    ...

    Maybe it is not the bottleneck, but how many places do we have
like this that are "not a bottleneck" ? maybe the sum of all these
"mini" mistakes is the bottleneck ?
