I certainly be interested with what you come up with. From profiling
PetitParser, it seems there is at least one low-hanging fruit in term of
performance.
And thanks too Usman, for pointing out long source code files may (or
do)
show diverging asymptotic behaviors. And real life use for most programming
languages are very long files :(
