How vmware mob is implemented?

I need to redesign our existing perl code, currently we look for objects like VM and Hosts using the name then make vix call to get the object reference this approach is slow in some environments.

We need to redesign this approach to make things faster so I am looking for some helpful info. I noticed that mob accesses the objects using moref_id so may be if we do that it will make thinsg faster. But when I went to implement it I realized that I need to make same vix api call to find moref_id so it will be slow again so I was wondering how mob is implemented. Do they use any cache for name and moref_id? Any information in this area will be very helpful?
