Yes, I accepted the 'BUILD_FLAVOR=ActivePerl' option which sets USE_MULTI and USE_ITHREADS. 'Perl - V' declares that 'useithreads=define' and 'usemultiplicity=define'. It also mentions '-DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS' as one of the ccflags, so I assume it has also been set. > Service packs shouldn't make a difference.

Should I try changing that to -O2 ? There's a comment in the makefile that says "-O1 yields smaller code, which turns out to be faster than -O2". I've since tried benchmark comparisons of some other code and while mingw perl is generally faster, the difference in performance is generally far less pronounced than for the code I posted.
