Dear Module Authors,
recently in one of the Amsterdam Perl Mongers meetings the question came up
how much faster actually the XS version of Date::Calc (Date::Calc::XS) was
as compared to the Pure Perl version (Date::Calc::PP).
Here is the answer (see attached script - you will need to have

One can see from these results that the XS version quite
consistently runs approximately about 15 times faster than the
PP version.
This is flame bait? Why is this flame bait?

Maybe he thought there were a debate on XS v.s PP performance. If only
we could be this flame retardent in the uneeded perl5 v.s perl6 debate.

It might be seen as flame bait because there have been endless discussions
on the Perl vs. C execution speed issue on Perl newsgroups in the past.

As always, I think benchmarks are important. As you've shown below, in
your case, the XS implementation certainly is faster. I think it all
depends on whether the speed of the system is bound by external
factors (like disk speed, speed of a network stream) or your CPU.
Certainly I've

well, if nothing else works, this could easily be turned into a
Date::Calc vs. DateTime flame bait :-)

So creating/destroying Perl objects -- even just for things
like argument passing on the stack -- is part of the cost of
the flexibility of Perl. When that becomes a bottleneck in
a tight loop, that's when XS becomes a potential option.
