Sorry I wrote my earlier email on my phone without a computer to hand. Here's a quick rundown on what I'm talking about.
--stagestats gives you the breakdown on how much time is spent doing various steps (note that using time instead of date; date gives you a better timing of how long something took. time perl6 --stagestats -e "" Stage start : 0.000 Stage parse : 0.089 Stage syntaxcheck: 0.000 Stage ast : 0.000 Stage optimize : 0.001 Stage mast : 0.004 Stage mbc : 0.000 Stage moar : 0.000 real 0m0.144s user 0m0.155s sys 0m0.032s And generally that's going to be the case for most short programs, in these cases especially moving to having the core of your code in modules with give you a speed boost. Sorry if my comments earlier were unhelpful.
