I've got a prediction to make about these modules.  I'm sure you won't
believe me now, but maybe later on you'll look back and find that I was
right (or not).  I predict that over time you will end up adding back most
of the features you have removed from CGI::Application.

For example, your replacement doesn't allow for parameters to be passed to
new() in the instance script.  How long will that last?  I predict that it
will last until you need to use a CGI::Application::Light module in
multiple contexts with different settings.

If speed is really your number one goal (and I'm not saying it should be),
consider dumping Template Toolkit and switching to HTML::Template.  And if
you're ready for some real excitement, give HTML::Template::JIT a try.
