Hey Edward,

Sorry not to get back to you. Hopefully I will have some benchmarks
this week. We have some large (20Mb) files that we need to parse, and
that should give me a clear idea of how fast they work.

What problems did you encounter with the build on linux? In trying to
get this working for a wider audience, it would be useful to find out
what troubles people have.
