in thread Perl is a compiler cum interpreter?

First off, it would skip re-building the blasted tree every time.

There's still the deserialization overhead, which is not cheap.

Moving away from a tree representation to formal bytecode would help with that, but it would require such a change to the Perl 5 core that no one who knows how is likely to do it ever.
