One of the things that they demonstrated at YAPC and OSCON was the benchmarks. Catalyst would likely speed things way up for any users still running mod_cgi, and would likely have speed benefits for hose running mod_perl. Probably the biggest speed benefit of the framework is that it consolodates all the database handling. My understanding of DBIx::Class is that it is really fast when compared to standard DBI. Max might have more to say on that though.
