Ain't no faster (Score:1)

'Typing' your variables will not get you a speed increase unless the variable being typed is a pseudo-hash object and you're accessing the hash keys directly.

IOW, don't bother.

Reading lesson, part 2 (Score:2, Informative)

The lesson being "When a module says 'be sure to call dispose after you're done with an object', you do it!". Although, after I corrected the benchmark subs, I still wound up short 20 MB or so after all was said and done.

Actually if you are using XML::Twig 3.00 or above and perl 5.6.1 or above you should read the part that advises you to install WeakRef [cpan.org] as it would remove the need to dispose ;--)
