Why DateTime module is loaded so slow?

This simple script that just imports DateTime is executed for 1 second
approximately:
use DateTime;

Can I make it faster?

Yes, you need a faster computer!

 auta...@houseabsolute:~/projects/R2$ time perl -MDateTime -e1

 real   0m0.109s
 user   0m0.096s
 sys    0m0.016s

That's my desktop, which is a Core2 Duo of some sort.

Note that once you do this once it gets much quicker because the OS keeps the data in memory until it gets paged out by something else. If you keep using it, it won't get paged out. The results above are _not_ from the first load.
