So, if the program takes 10 seconds to run as a 'perl + script', and it
takes 5 seconds if it's a 'dumped' program, does the dumped program run
faster?

Geeze Terry, even after people give you actual *facts* which point out
that you're wrong you'll continue to argue the point using useless
semantics.

I refuse to continue this useless conversation in public.  I've already
proven you wrong, yet you'll continue to argue the point until you can
be right about *something*.
