Optimize Class::Std::Fast's performance by integrating XS code, resulting in faster execution.
The SYNOPSIS for Class::Std::Fast_XS is simple and easy to understand-- just use it! The module replaces Class::Std::Fast's accessors/mutators and DESTROY method with XS variants. As a result, the speed gain varies by platform.
To quantify this speed gain, consider some benchmark results. On Ubuntu 8.04 (32bit) Linux with perl 5.8.8, the speed gain is around 7.5% for accessors and around 35% for mutators. Meanwhile, the DESTROY method is around 220% faster on this platform. On a RHEL 5.0 (64bit) box with perl-5.8.8, the speed gain is even higher, around 40% for getters and around 60% for setters. Finally, on an ActivePerl 5.8.8 (822) on Windows XP built with MinGW/MSYS/gcc, the speed gain is around 45%. For ActivePerl 5.10 (1001) on Windows XP, the gain is roughly 30% for accessors and 50% for mutators.
Overall, Class::Std::Fast_XS is a highly effective tool for optimizing performance in Perl applications. If you're looking to boost your code's speed and efficiency, this module is definitely worth a closer look.
