Wow! Your new entry runs faster than C++. Also, memory consumption is less than 500 MB ;-)

$ time ./tbench1 x.tmp 2
cell count at start = 1500000

Micro-optimization may be a subjective matter. At this level, one may want to for 2%.

I've replaced 3 multiplications ( $w * 2 ) with ( $w << 1 ).

( $sum |= substr $all, $_ ) =~ tr/1357/2468/ for
  1, 2, $w, $w + 2, ($w << 1), ($w << 1) + 1, ($w << 1) + 2; # other 7
+ neighbors
