I'll post benchmarks after GPW.

Sorry but ATM you are mangling different things and effectively comparing apples with plastic food.

BTW as it seems you are also "proving" that gotos to labels with code execution are faster then simple hash look ups. (which would support using goto)

update

I'm not sure but I somehow remember benchmarks indicating that goto was not very efficiently implemented.

By having a linear complexity, it could be in small cases faster than the constant overhead of hash lookups.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
