=head1 NAME

Net::SNMP::XS - speed up Net::SNMP by decoding in XS, with limitations

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Net::SNMP::XS;

 # loading it is enough, there are no public symbols

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module tries to speed up Net::SNMP response packet decoding.

It does this by overriding a few selected internal method by (almost)
equivalent XS methods.

This currently reduces decode time by a factor of four for typical bulk
responses.

There are currently the following limitations when using this module:

=over 4

=item leading dots are required for iods

=item error handling is currently broken (but parse errors will be detected)

=item error messages will be simpler/different

=item oid components are limited to unsigned 32 bit integers

=item translation will be ignored (all values will be delivered "raw")

=item a 64 bit perl is required

=item a moderately modern (>= C99) C compiler is required

=item only tested with 5.10
