Try ++$_ for values %_;

That improves things:

sub sansNames{ ++$_ for @_; };;
sub withNames{ local %_ = @_; ++$_ for values %_; };;

cmpthese -1,{
    a=>q[ withNames( 1 .. $_*2 ) for 1..5 ], 
    b=>q[ sansNames( 1..$_ ) for 1 .. 5 ] 
};;
      Rate    a    b
a  35072/s   -- -71%
b 122333/s 249%   --

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
