Yes, I can see it, clear as crystal! I apologize for not being vigilant 
enough and thank you for being enough vigilant. I resubmit.

I will take a look. What Koha would need is a way to cache large dataset 
(biblio framework, authorized values, XSLT transformer, etc.) at 
application level not at script level. And if possible caching directly 
Perl object rather than serialized like with memcached (I really don't 
see how...) mod_perl is the solution but I fear that there is no 
incremental path for switching such a large code base as Koha into a 
mod_perl application.

Otherwise, isn't it time to consider integrating OO framework like 
Moose, or something like Catalyst? and modernizing code. Sponsors with 
deep pocket required :-)

Thanks.
