in reply to 5:10: Why is this slower than 5.8.8?

This thread on p5p explains the problem. In short...

For some reason the optimiser has decided that there are common elements
on both sides, and that therefore a temporary copy of each element must be
made. This is to handle cases like:

    ($a,$b) = ($b,$a);

but is now slowing down the normal case.

It was tracked back to this patch. Now that it's been nailed down there's a very good chance it'll be fixed in 5.10.1.
