And if you come up with a Perl subroutine that you can call 20 million times each second, then you might notice the speed difference. Of course, that will leave almost no time for your subroutine to do anything nor for the caller of the subroutine to do anything.

Which is why such nano-optimization is a great way to waste your time.
