NAME

App::Benchmark::Accessors - Benchmark accessor generators

DESCRIPTION

This distribution runs benchmarks on various accessor generators. The following generators are being benchmarked:

Moose

mutable and immutable

Mouse

mutable and immutable

Class::Accessor
Class::Accessor::Fast
Class::Accessor::Fast::XS
Class::XSAccessor::Compat
Class::Accessor::Complex
Class::Accessor::Constructor
Class::Accessor::Classy
Class::Accessor::Lite
Mojo::Base
Class::MethodMaker
Object::Tiny
Spiffy
Class::Spiffy
accessors
Class::XSAccessor
Class::XSAccessor::Array
Object::Tiny
Rose
Rubyish::Attribute

The benchmarks are being run as part of the test suite; see App::Benchmark. This way you can look at this distribution's CPAN testers page to see the benchmark results on many different platforms and for many different perl versions.

The t/construction.t file benchmarks object creation, t/get.t benchmarks getter methods and t/set.t benchmarks setter methods.

Not every benchmark is run on every module; for example, Object::Tiny doesn't create setter methods, and accessors doesn't generate constructors.

Each benchmark test file takes an optional numeric parameter that is used as the number of iterations.

It's probably a good idea not to read too much into these benchmarks; they could be seen as micro-optimization. However, if you have a complex object hierarchy and create lots of objects and run many many getters/setters on them, they could help to save some time. But be sure to use Devel::NYTProf first to see where your real bottlenecks are.
