- Process size
- Start up time (but hey, at least it's not Rails :)
- "Disk is cheap" is an article of faith, not of fact and only true for 
  certain scenarios (e.g not embedded) 
- Developer pain such mas hoping all those 120 modules install with no 
  errors and tracking down a bug to anywhere in the dependency chain

I've got nothing again Moose and despite occasionally sounding like it 
I'm not just being arbitarily reactionary. If you are using Moose 
already (and there are many good reasons too) there's literally no 
downside. If not ... there are. And they're not always worth it.

Not directly no. But indirectly ... that's exactly how loading libraries 
work. They're still in my process memory.
