While playing around, I noticed the of .hyper produces very strange results. First, a control, without .hyper that consistently clocks in at around 2.3 seconds on my 2-core machine: $ perl6 -e '.base: 16 for ^100000; say now - INIT now' 2.33417984 If we include the .hyper method, however, about 50% of the time, we get ridiculously faster results: 58 times faster; or ridiculously slower results: 19 times slower: $ perl6 -e '.base: 16 for ^100000 .hyper; say now - INIT now' 0.0470114 $ perl6 -e '.base: 16 for ^100000 .hyper; say now - INIT now' 34.64521881 My expected result is the use of .hyper would produce a marginal speed increase, utilizing my second core, and performing the computation between 0%–100% faster. See also RT#127364 for .race, which also produces results much slower than normal version, although I did not observe the inconsistency with speeds: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127364
