Essentially you have: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
my %h;
my @res;  # declare outside the loop
open F, $ARGV[0] or die $!;
while(<F>) {
    @res = split /\|/;
    $h{$res[9]}++;
}
close F;
print "$h{$_}\t$_\n" for keys %h;

You may find this faster (maybe not) as we declare the @res array outside the loop which avoids creating an anonymous array to hold the split values, and then destroying it after each iteration of the loop. I suspect this may be happening in your one liner as even on a dog slow old PII 233 I have similar scripts that will parse megabyte squid/httpd log files in a few seconds - definitely not minutes.

Alternatively slurping the file into memory and using a regex to process it in one pass may be faster it you have a major disk IO issue as the choke rather than CPU cycles. This is a spend more memory to get more speed approach. It is typically much faster to read in large chunks of data than iterate over a file linewise. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
{
   local $/;
   open F, $ARGV[0] or die $!;
   $all = <F>;
   close F;
   @ips = $all =~ m/^(?:[^\|]+\|){9}([^\|]+)/gm;
   undef $all;  # try to reclaim the memory
}
my %h;
$h{$_}++ for @ips;
print "$h{$_}\t$_\n" for keys %h;

If neither of these work code it in C or get better hardware or just make a cup of coffee while it runs or nice it up to the max so it takes over the entire system.
