I had an example of parsing a 231K file. This was taking around 56 seconds. I did profiling and found that it was calling
makeLineColumnIndex
a lot, it accounted for ~40 seconds of the time spent. While running through debugging, I found that this function was being called multiple times with the same arguments, in sequence.I added a simple memoize with a cache of 1 (the last argument set) and the parse time went down to 13 seconds.
So I am not familiar with the internals of
parsimmon
so I can't say why the same function is being with the same arguments (maybe it is my parser implementation). The use case I have is parsing through this file, and I want to keep a lot of marks/index values because later I want to use this as an AST to edit the file quickly and precisely.
