At some point a while back, I analyzed the data structures used in forming the
timezone objects and found that there was a lot of redundant structures,
particularly in cases where you were loading a large number of zones. I hacked
the data structure to re-use common references whenever possible and this made
a significant difference in the total size used when many timezone objects were
loaded, but not much (in fact none) when only a single zone was used.
I'll see if I can find my work. I was using Data::Dumper for the trickery, but
I'm sure it could be switched over to Storable.
If this could be integrated with using C data structures that'd be pretty
cool. I have the code somewhere if you can't find it.
I looked at it but didn't understand it that well and never got around to
integrating it.
