I haven't used Date::Performance, but from reading that page, 
Date::Performance would certainly be faster as it is implemented in C. 
ThirdBase is pure ruby code.

ThirdBase uses customizable regexp-based parsers as opposed to a fixed 
string scanning parser, so it is probably more flexible.

I can't comment in more detail without reading the Date::Performance 
code.
