It's not a "fix", as it fixes a real bug, and not a Class::DBI specific bug.

I'm surprised that the speed hit is that bad - this may mean that there's a
bug in the implementation. But the only change in behaviour *should* be
when blessing an object from a class without to a class with overloading
(or from something unblessed into a class with overloading), if and only
if there is more than one reference to the object.

So, bless ({}, $class) shouldn't be affected, as there will be only one
reference to that {}

No-one's reported the performance hit upstream, let alone with a demonstration
case that uses only core modules. Is anyone surprised that there's been
no response?

london.pm list isn't the right place either.
