Re^2: fastest file processing Config file format

You seem to change file names between creating/testing the YAML parser (delme.yaml vs delme.cfg). Also, some of the C-based yaml parsers (for instance, YAML::Syck) are a lot faster than plain YAML. (removed Config::Fast since I don't have it installed):

            Rate      YAML       XML YAML_Syck     slurp
YAML      17.1/s        --      -83%      -97%      -98%
XML        103/s      505%        --      -84%      -88%
YAML_Syck  636/s     3629%      516%        --      -28%
slurp      888/s     5107%      760%       40%        --

The .cfg was a carry over from previous iterations of the benchmark code where I only tested YAML. The file contents are the same as those generated for delme.yaml so the benchmark results are the same. I picked YAML first in the expectation that it would be the slowest of the bunch figuring that if you could meet the run time specification with YAML you could do it with anything.
