On OSX 10.8 with Perl 5.16 and Perl6/MoarVM 2014.08 I ran these one-liners against a 17Mb Apache log file:
perl -wnl -E 'say $1 if /\b(\w{5})\b/' logs.txt
perl6 -n -e 'say $0 if ~~ m/(<<\w**5>>)/' logs.txt
Perl 5 took 1.2 seconds and Perl6 2mins. 49 seconds so I'm not confident that Perl6 will ever be anywhere near Perl 5 for common use cases such as this.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
