Re: [Users] CST stage has become slower

Hello all,

Do we expect Piraha to be faster than the old method?

I would expect it to be slower. The old method was just applying a couple of regular expressions to each input line with any data structures or other code involved. Piraha first parses using regular expressions for each part then builds a syntax tree and works its way through that tree. So more work I think. However I do not know if it does enough work to make it measurably slower (rather than say 1 ms slower out of 20 s due to being limited by IO latency anyway).

Yours, Roland
