A cost that can be worked around in-core. It is very hard but not 
impossible. Ideally I am aiming at close-to-raw-DBI performance, with a 
resulting overhead in terms of percentages, as opposed to orders of 
magnitude. Half of the optimizations of this codepath already went into 
0.08250, the other half will show up in about 6 month or so (give or 
take a year ;)

So yes, the core devs are aware of the overhead, and are working towards 
lowering it. Keeping an eye on https://twitter.com/dbix_class/ is a good 
way to get word of further breakthroughs in this area.
