=head1 DESCRIPTION

Let's use L<Benchmark::Featureset::ParamCheck> to see how fast
L<Type::Params> is compared with other modules for validating
named parameters. (Hint: very fast.)

=head1 RESULTS

The results of running the script on a fairly low-powered laptop.
Each parameter checking implementation is called 250,000 times.
The table below displays the average time taken for each call in
nanoseconds.

=head1 ANALYSIS

Type::Params (using Type::Tiny type constraints) provides the fastest way of
checking named parameters for a function, whether or not Type::Tiny::XS
is available.

Params::ValidationCompiler (also using Type::Tiny type constraints) is very
nearly as fast.

Params::ValidationCompiler using other type constraints is also quite fast,
and when Type::Tiny::XS is not available, Moose and Specio constraints run
almost as fast as Type::Tiny constraints.

Data::Validator is acceptably fast.

Params::Check is fairly slow, and MooseX::Params::Validate very slow.

Type::Tiny::XS seems to slow down MooseX::Params::Validate for some strange
reason.

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

To run this script, you will need:
