* Stop using Devel::DProf. It has been replaced by Devel::NYTProf. You'll get much better information.
* Run your page requests 10-100 times in one profiling session, or wait to enable the profiler until after the first request. If you don't, the setup time will swallow everything else.
* Profile a real application, or at least something with a database request in it. If you profile a "hello world" app you'll wind up spending hours working on things that increase performance by 0.1%.
* I think it would be a mistake to use HTML::Template::Pro. Its only real speed advantage is when running as CGI, and if you care about performance, you should be using mod_perl or FastCGI. There are faster templating tools than HTML::Template, but I've never seen it be the bottleneck in any real application.
Actually I would say security is a slightly higher concern than performance. For the forseeable fortune this is likely to be a VPS running a lot of sadly obscure websites. As such I am not using fastcgi or mod_perl but rather suExec.
As such the module load startup is significant. I think that also shows why I stop using Titanium until I am using all the modules it loads. Still there is no reason to completely ignore performance or deny speed ups where available. Also the script does have a database backend though I will keeping rerunning the profile as it gets bigger. I am not laying to much by this experiment but it seems I have to agree about HTML::Template::Pro its contribution to the speed up was quite small.

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).
