[Catalyst] Catalyst Performance issues

Are you setup for caching the compiled templates?  These should be set to
some sane value in TT options:


CACHE_SIZE

COMPILE_EXT

COMPILE_DIR



Also,  you do not have EVAL_PERL set do you?  I have seen huge performance
drops on setups that have that tagged.
