How many of those still apply?
All of them, I think. I suppose you could argue that (1) doesn't apply if you're copying and pasting the code from Perl Monks, but you still have to understand the code and adapt it to your precise requirements, both of which are more difficult when the code is more complicated.
I'm bewildered by your objection, to be honest. Do you seriously think it's a good idea to optimise code that’s already fast enough? There’s an interesting debate to be had about “premature optimisation”, but I've never heard anyone advocate needless optimisation.
Perhaps I'm missing your point. Would you care to elaborate?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
