Do you have any figures that show you have some form of "gain"?

No. I don't think there will be any chance of a gain until I rewrite the main conversion logic in XS. But I'm not in it for the gain of execution speed. I'm in it for the gain in the development cycle of a program.

use if 0, My::Module

Of course. But in that case I would prefer the idiom: 

if (CONSTANTTOBEFALSE) {
     require My::Module;
}

or, if execution of the import routine is necessary: 
if (CONSTANTTOBEFALSE) {
     require My::Module; My::Module->import;
}

I think that is much more descriptive of what is going on than the use of the if pragma.
