Yes, you need a faster computer!

  autarch@houseabsolute:~/projects/R2$ time perl -MDateTime -e1

  real	0m0.109s
  user	0m0.096s
  sys	0m0.016s

That's my desktop, which is a Core2 Duo of some sort.

Note that once you do this once it gets much quicker because the OS keeps 
the data in memory until it gets paged out by something else. If you keep 
using it, it won't get paged out. The results above are _not_ from the 
first load.
