Parse::RecDescent efficiency
When I bundle up the rules for the file format parser I've designed into one big superrule representing the entire file and run the parser, it takes 5 minutes. When I skip that top-level rule and instead write a small program to call the rules that rule included, using appropriate control logic to call the right parsing at the right time, it takes 23 seconds.

Thanks for the info. I'm parsing a gigantically large string, so that explains it.
Do you know if the Perl6::Rules module would give me any better performance?

Built my own hand-crafted recursive-descent parser and I can now parse the file in under 2 seconds. Converting my grammar to code was fun; maybe I should get a job as a recursive descent parser compiler. ;)
