I just created a benchmark suite that includes Class::DBI,
Class::DBI::Sweet, and DBIx::Class.  It's part of version 0.65 of
Rose::DB::Object, but you can also use it as a way to compare the
performance of DBIx::Class to the other modules.

To spoil the surprise somewhat, I'll say that DBIx::Class's promised
"reduced overhead compared to Class::DBI" is a mixed bag.  In some scenarios
it's significant, but sometimes the tables are turned.  Of course, every one
of these modules is sub-1.0, so things may change in the future.

I just uploaded to CPAN, so there may be a delay before it shows up on your
local mirror.  In the meantime, other CPAN authors can login to PAUSE and
download it from here:
