You benchmark only ever loads strict once making it marginally valid. If you start to factor in load times..... 

use Benchmark 'cmpthese';
my %hash;
cmpthese( 10000000, {
   with => sub {delete $INC{strict.pm}; use strict 'refs'; my $a = 1; 
+my $b = 2},
   without => sub {delete $hash{key}; my $a = 1; my $b = 2},
} );

__DATA__
Benchmark: timing 10000000 iterations of with, without...
      with:  8 wallclock secs ( 9.10 usr +  0.00 sys =  9.10 CPU) @ 10

You need to delete an imaginary hash key in the without to be fair. This a more realistic benchmark outside of persistent processes. Nonetheless the contribution of strict to the total overheads is trivial and I always use it.
