Somebody needs to fix the docs (Score:1)
Now that I read your post, I realized that the Class::XSAccessor docs still claim it's 2-3 times faster than a hand-optimized pure-Perl accessor (sub foo {$_[0]->{foo}}). According to Chocolateboy's benchmark run as well as yours, this would now be 3-4 times.
I wouldn't mind if anybody beat me to twiddling the bits in the documentation in Alias' open repository.
