Do you know if there are any studies on the performance of the
resulting parser in C++ against 'traditional' tools? (There are
probably many studies...)


Turns out that the real question is then: Where can I find them?

enough time to worry about. Lexer performance is much more important
since the lexer is the only part of the compiler that has to look at
each character of the input program. -John]
