I don't see any point in making DateTime run faster unless someone
has complained about it being too slow.

Most of the computers I administer don't have C compilers (the run
Solaris).  Requiring XS makes DateTime useless.  I thought
DateTime was a great idea, but now I hope the older Date and Time
modules will be maintained so I can use them -- or I'll have to
roll my own modules.  This leaves me at the point I was before the
DateTime project started.  *groan*
