The array-based Bio::SeqFeature::Slim is only about 7% faster than  
Bio::Graphics::Feature so I suspect most of the speedup comes from  
removing location objects.

Generic     6.75        --      -37%      -41%
GraphicsF   4.26       58%        --       -7%
Slim        3.98       70%        7%        --

this is using code on the lightweight_feature_branch so
cvs -d:ext:USERNAME at pub.open-bio.org:/home/repository/bioperl co -r  
lightweight_feature_branch -d core_lwf bioperl-live
