seems that lookahead grep is the slightly faster solution ... here is the test script I used:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# usage : ./this_script.pl < input_file > captured_benchmarks
use strict;
use Benchmark;
my @data=<>;
my (@res1,@res2,@res3);
timethese (100000000,
    { grep_and => q{
    @res1 = grep /GGGGGACACCTTCTCTCTCT/ && /RH_MEa0001bG06/, @data;
    },
    double_grep => q{
    @res2 = grep /GGGGGACACCTTCTCTCTCT/,grep /RH_MEa0001bG06/,@data;
    },
    lookahead_grep => q{
    @res3 = grep /^(?=.*GGGGGACACCTTCTCTCTCT)(?=.*RH_MEa0001bG06)/,@da
+ta;
    }
}
);

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
