in thread What is the most efficient way to split a long string (see body for details/constraints)?

I wonder why the file handle approach (fh) is slower here, when it was faster in this test: Re: Is foreach split Optimized?

If I had to wager a guess, it might be because in this thread, the benchmark is setting up a new filehandle on every line of input, while in the other thread, it's only a single filehandle.

By the way, in regards to speeding things up by compiling them, this might be a case where a script written for Will_the_Chill's RPerl could give performance benefits.
