I had a similar experience which was making FormFu impractical.

I've implemented a simple (naive) single-process cache in
Catalyst::Controller::HTM::FormFu::Action::FormConfig
(file attached) and get a noticeable speed up, however, there are issues
with this approach.  As you can see from the comments in the code, I was
unable to get a shared cache to work, and caching code references seems
to be impossible.  I'm also thinking of applying this
approach to (applicable instances of) FormMethod as well.

Cheers!

Kal



Thank you for the code. I will try to do some tests because this big delay 
is a big issue.
