a faster html::template?

[Foo Ji-Haw]

Hi all,   I'm a happy user of HTML::Template on my mp2 setup. But when it comes to performance, I notice that to populate a loop of some 1500 records, the system takes 2-3 seconds on my P4 2GHz machine. I think that's way too long, especially on a development machine.   I tried to load the template with 'cache=>1', but the performance improvement is not much. I hear some talk on the newsgroup about HTML::Template::JIT. Is there anyone who has optimised on a 1000+ record loop in HTML::Template? I am a strong believer in templating engines, and I think reverting to embedded code should be avoided at best.   Thanks.
