You're correct: complicated queries on large databases are no place for an ORM. Rose is pretty fast for simple-to-medium queries, but complex ones always require hand-tweaked SQL. You can run hand-written SQL through Rose though (or others), and it can still provide a convenient place to organize your custom queries and deal with your database handle/statement caching.
I would also add that ORMs are never good for bulk updates. You can totally crush the speed of an ORM for a bulk insert/update by writing some simple DBI code or by using your database's bulk loading features, e.g. multi-row insert in MySQL.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
