If module load time is an issue, this is going to be much slower than
the simple function-based decorator, due to:

 - creation of an instance instead of a function
 - storing and retrieving data on the instance

In terms of performance after that, it's not affected in either case,
because the original function is returned, and not a wrapper. Most of
the cases on Bruce Eckel's post deal with wrappers being returned, which
is not necessary in this case.
