in reply to Perl array performance puzzle
And if swapping the ordering of the tests doesn't convince you, then try constructing both arrays using the same method.
You'll find that the benchmark shows a difference even when they are both constructed the same way.
It's worth bearing in mind that given the huge numbers of iterations being performed, even the largest (12%) difference shown, represents a difference of 0.000,000,014 of a second which hardly makes it a "large difference".
