But we do have the DMD lexer which is useful as a benchmark and a guide. I won't say it couldn't be made faster, but it does set a minimum bar for performance.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to just measure the lexing phase of DMD. If it's easy someone would probably already have extracted the lexer from DMD.
