[re performance of lex scanners]


You may want to look at the Cocktail compiler suite. I've seen many
papers published where the author of the tools (J. Grosch, amoung
others) discusses 'high speed lexing and parsing'. I've been playing
with them for the past couple of days, and they take *forever* to
generate the code, but once done, it's pretty fast.


Ask archie for one of: rex, lalr, ell, ag, ast, cg, estra. Rex is the
lexing tool.
