TWiki.pm is a bit of a monster, 2502 lines of code. Depressingly, it is all compiled when any twiki script is called. Even more depressingly, it doesn't need to be. Much of TWikiDotPm is a bunch of handlers for different %VARIABLES%. Each of these handlers could be housed in it's own module, meaning it would only need to be compiled if that variable was actually used (c.f. autosplit)

Alternatively use autosplit with this module. This would require a build or install step.

This should be a performance improvement.

I re-ordered the methods in TWiki.pm and added commented-out lines that AutoLoader? would use. If anyone wants to experiment, go ahead.

I daresay some of TWikiDotPmProposedFurtherModularisation is obsolete now, but that also has some ideas.
