Two simple questions:


Is a O(n) parser good enough?


Although there is plenty of literature discussing the efficiency of
low level (read character based) pattern matching algorithms, I
haven't found much O(x) [where x is anything from n log m to n^r] type
literature on the efficiency of parsers. Any pointers to literature
in this area?


Thanks in advance,
