Is instance creation the performance bottleneck in your application?
That seems unusual. I guess it's possible if you're reading a large
database file and creating objects for each row. But in that case, as
Chris A says, you may be better with something like a named tuple. In
any case, optimising for performance is not what generic solutions are
good at, so it's not surprising that a generic decorator involves a
performance hit.
