clearly the massive differences between tin2 and tin3 must at least alert you that something is wrong with the benchmark... Frankly I have no idea what goes on once you start eval-ing strings in the Benchmark module, but from the presented examples, something seems suspicious.

Here is a benchmark by me

use Benchmark qw(cmpthese);

my @arr = map {rand} 0..900000;
my @output = map {rand} 0..300000;;

Benchmark::cmpthese(10,{
tin1 => sub { 
  $output[int($_/3)] += $arr[$_] for 0..@arr-1; 
},
tin2 => sub {
  $output[$_] =  $arr[3*$_] + $arr[3*$_+1] + $arr[3*$_+2]
    for 0..@arr/3;
},
tin3=> sub {
  my $b = 0;
  for (0..@arr /3) {
    $output[$_] = $arr[$b] + $arr[$b+1] + $arr[$b +2];
    $b += 3;
  }
}
});

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.
