Yeah, it just got really noticeable when I had to run a relatively short script over and over again, one that would have appeared to finish instantly on Perl 5. Startup time just stood out first since that’s about fifteen times higher on 6 vs stock 5. But I also see now that my full script has other performance issues, that I have to dig elsewhere to sort out.
