Is it? I'd like to see some benchmark. It's certainly not my
impression, and I don't find it logically, find
being a C program written to do exactly one task.

The reason it should be, apart from it being suggested to be
so in the find2perl manpage (hehe), is that process creation
is a fairly expensive operation, and it usually is the
case that all the spawnings of perl (or anything else that
perl can easily duplicate in functionality) are going to
slow down the entire operation enough that a single-process
all-perl implementation will outpace it by a good margin.
Of course, your milage may vary.
