You could also try Class::DBI::Sweet and use the 'prefetch' option to
load has_a queries in a single query, plus (selectively) the resultset
cache to maintain entire ->search()es in memory (and a shared cache).

Of course, if you're refactoring substantially, it's but a short step to
just port the code to DBIx::Class which has the same features and much less
perl overhead, and not *so* much longer a step to Rose::DB::Object which
is rather more different but faster still (speed here in terms of perl
overhead; the SQL optimisation achievable with each is probably fairly
similar provided we're comparing Sweet and not plain Class::DBI).
