On my (likely to be as unrepresentative) 100 MB test file on Linux, I get 5 secs versus 75 secs, still a non-negligible speedup. The article was saying Perl was twice as slow? Seems it's 7.5 times as fast while needing a hundreth of the lines of code. Hmm... Make me want to rush back at my Java books, this sure doesn't...
