That depends :)

The naive "just do it" approach works, but it takes a whopping 143.6
seconds.  The reason for that is that 8th is made to use less memory to
begin with, so it keeps allocating more pools for data to be stored.

The smart "I know I'll use lots of data" approach takes 3.78 seconds.
What's a good Perl script to compare with?
