I haven't looked at your file, but if you're using Perl 5.8.5 or greater, the speed issue may be caused by perl itself: http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34925 The fix for this bug causes a huge slowdown inside of Text::Balanced, or any other module that reblesses objects with overloading.
