You should run those benchmarks longer, perhaps 600 times instead of 300, to get a more stable result. I loaded your most-recent package into a clean image and got similar results to what you got, with the current non-converting version being slightly faster. However, in my development image (with all of the changes I have made since my last release), the converting version is slightly faster, and both versions are overall faster. I haven't been able to work much on the parsers and tokenizer yet, but it appears they are still largely string-based, so I am not sure if making changes like this is good idea at this point.
Ok, I will increase it to 600. And leave this story about convertion for later.
