Perl is compiled, always has been.
DBI is no slower than any other application that has to
talk to a database. This involves disk and/or network I/O,
transaction processing, and any latency involved in using
a time-shared system (just about all of them these days).
I have worked on large datasets with Perl using DBI for
years; in most cases my Perl runs no slower than C that
"real" programmers come up with and frequently runs faster.
