Yes, I haven't tried lately, but for my own small text manipulation program, Perl 6 was still more than 100 times slower than Perl 5 the last time I tried. Probably because of some JIT delaying the startup time. But since my use is calling small programs, it was a no go for me; and after one year it had not improved a bit.
