  ...One idiom jumped out at me:
          $S0 = concat "PIR", ':"'

  Interesting -- apparently PGE is generating these concat statements whenever there is PIR embedded in a rule. For example:

  
token MARK_STATEMENT_END {
        {{ $P0 = match.'to'()
                $P0 = clone $P0
                set_global '$!endstmt', $P0
        }}
        <.ws>
}

    Based on chromatic's analysis I re-examined the section of PGE that was responsible for generating the concats in the first place, and nearly all of the concatenations it was performing at runtime were constants that could be done at compile-time. I must've been asleep when writing that code.
    
    So, I refactored the code to avoid the concats altogether, and building rakudo's actions.pl file is now 1.6% faster than it was before (44.363 versus 45.095 seconds on my box). Not a huge speedup, but I'm still happie
