As the nytprof files are binary, I can't upload them here. Instead I've made an effort to make the next batch of benchmarks more useful: http://drop.io/perl_performance/asset/arrays-zip

I've taken your suggestions and implemented them. Also, there's only two variants this time, as one of them shows the performance issue and the other one has a tiny change which resolves the issue to an extent.

Sidenote: Are you available on IRC? This stuff is very time-consuming and I'm way out of my depth here, so the only thing i literally can do is provide info in the hopes it helps others, but with the delays involved in the form of communication here i'm getting incredibly frustrated.
