(Btw, someone got benchmarks of std.d.lexer?
I remember that Brain was benchmarking his module quite a lot
in order
to catch up with DMD's lexer but I can't find links in IRC
logs. I
wonder if he achieved his goal in this regard)
The most recent set of timings that I have can be found here:
https://raw.github.com/Hackerpilot/hackerpilot.github.com/master/experimental/std_lexer/images/times4.png
They're a bit old at this point, but not much has changed in
the lexer
internals. I can try running another set of benchmarks soon.

hardest part is hacking DMD to just do the lexing)
The times on the X-axis are milliseconds.
I see we're considerably behind dmd. If improving performance
would come at the price of changing the API, it may be sensible
to hold off adoption for a bit.

Considerably? They look very similar to me. dmd is just
slightly winning.
