[antlr-interest] performance of the C runtime for ANTLR 3

Hi,

I've done some small comparisons between C++ and Java with ANTLR 2.7  
something, turned out that the Java version was significantly faster  
(5x). I'm not sure why that was, but I had the feeling it was about  
string copying and reference counted memory management. I didn't do  
proper tests however. I hear the 3.0 C++ runtime was largely  
enhanced, so this is probably no longer true for ANTLR 3.

Regards,
Martin
