Works much slower for --compile=min

[PallHaraldsson]

First the good news, on default settings with rc1:

julia> @time include("""/home/pharaldsson/Sótt gögn/main_0.jl""")
 13.651468 seconds (19.52 M allocations: 1.088 GiB, 6.54% gc time, 56.66% compilation time)
497272416

vs.

julia> using JuliaSyntax

julia> JuliaSyntax.enable_in_core!()

julia> @time include("""/home/pharaldsson/Sótt gögn/main_0.jl""")
 12.534061 seconds (21.09 M allocations: 1.170 GiB, 7.48% gc time, 61.29% compilation time)
497272416

A bit faster, 8% (not 25% faster as I expected).

$ julia --compile=min
julia> @time include("""/home/pharaldsson/Sótt gögn/main_0.jl""")
6.139569 seconds (2.10 M allocations: 111.458 MiB, 2.19% gc time)

I knew this was faster (and it's a pathological benchmark code with lots of constprop, on default settings, I believe that doesn't apply in the interpreter).

But with your parser 5.3x slower:

julia> @time include("""/home/pharaldsson/Sótt gögn/main_0.jl""")
 32.852067 seconds (29.27 M allocations: 669.355 MiB, 1.11% gc time)
497272416

I'm confused, the parser is the same in both cases, and the interpreter works on the same AST, so neither part should be slower?

[PallHaraldsson]

Ignore! I'll close, of course the parser itself is running in the interpreter and thus much slower... I'll close.

If you see this, then you may want to tag a release and/or update the README to say the example works for main.
