[antlr-interest] Serious doubts on usage ofincrementalparsinginides

[Anthony Youngman]

Great :-(

I've JUST upgraded my box at home to a 1GHz Athlon ... and that chip was
salvaged from a pc that was about 3 years old iirc ...

By all means make cpu-intensive stuff optional, but don't forget those
users who use Antlr in their spare time on their personal machines, and
can't afford to buy bleeding edge every few years.

Cheers,
Wol

Seriously -- don't remove features that are too slow on a 500MHz
machine.
Please set a more recent standard. I had a 500MHz box when I worked at
MageLang in 1998 (and it's sitting to my right as a bookrest right now
;)

Maybe pick a reasonable speed from 3 years back? 1.8-2.0G? Or at least
1.5...

I've got a couple 3.2 boxes, but that's definitely not a reasonable
standard.

Or you could make some of the performance-intensive features optional.

Later,
