in thread Subroutine overhead in Perl

Thanks! That speeds things up a lot.

I was glad to see where I was wasting clock cycles. I had no issue with a compiled language like Java being faster than an interpreted one like Perl and I'm very happy to see my inital estimate of the overheasd in a subroutine call in perl was too high by about three orders of magnitude.

Phew!
