I haven't seen any performance benchmarks for the most recent (5.10.0)
Perl, comparing threaded vs. nonthreaded. Given that the last benchmarks
mentioned around here are quite dated, I think it'd be good to run your
own benchmarks. We mostly use unthreaded Perl because we build our own
Perl for unrelated reasons anyway, but without evidence I wouldn't say
it's necessarily better.
