Subject: philosophical problem with speed test
t/99_speed.t is not actually a test it can't fail and so it shouldn't be in the automated test suite. More importantly it's a pain to have to wait for it when installing with CPAN.pm. The information is of no use to the average user. If you really want to benchmark in the test suite please consider making it dependent on an environment variable or at least have use a fixed time rather than a fixed number of iterations. Happy customer apart from that :)

The benchmark actually starts with a measurement of the computer speed, and it tries to run the benchmark in a (very roughly) fixed time. But still, I agree with your philosophical problem, so I just released a new version which does not run benchmarks by default.
