The first one you wrote was the fastest:

Benchmark: timing 1000000 iterations of tin1, tin2, tin3...
      tin1:  1 wallclock secs ( 0.59 usr +  0.00 sys =  0.59 CPU) @ 16
+86340.64/s (n=1000000)
      tin2:  1 wallclock secs ( 0.75 usr +  0.00 sys =  0.75 CPU) @ 13
+33333.33/s (n=1000000)

the input to get this was:

$results = timethese(1000000,{
tin1 => '$output[int($_/3)] += $arr[$_] for 0..@arr-1;',
tin2 =>'$out[$_] = ($arr[(3*$_)]+$arr[(3*$_+1)]+$arr[(3*$_+2)]) for 0.
+.(scalar(@arr)/3 - 1);',
tin3=>'for (0..$k) {
    $output[$_] = $arr[$b] + $arr[$b+1] + $arr[$b +2];
    $b += 3;
}
'});
Benchmark::cmpthese( $results );

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
