I know that Rakudo isn't well tuned for performance right now, but this is
still probably worth noting because it's such a specific difference between
two similar ways of doing one task.
The recent thread about "..." and ".." had me doing some testing and I
noticed that ".." seems to be radically faster at loop iteration. For
example:
$ time ./perl6 -e 'for 1...1000 -> $i { 1; }; say "Done"'
Done
real 0m6.688s
user 0m6.400s
sys 0m0.290s
$ time ./perl6 -e 'for 1..1000 -> $i { 1; }; say "Done"'
Done
real 0m2.114s
user 0m1.870s
sys 0m0.200s
