For other people who haven't read my reply to that ticket, this is the top 
priority for Goldie now. I've profiled, and the biggest bottleneck by far is 
the (rather stupid and half-assed) way that I'm handling character sets in 
the lexer. (To directly answer the quesion, it's neither an LALR thing nor a 
GOLD thing, it's just a temporary Goldie thing.)

Additionally, my plain is to switch from large infrequent releases to 
smaller more frequent releases, so it shouldn't be another 6+ month wait for 
"v0.5 with a speed boost". This v0.4 version has a lot of big stuff in it 
(the change from D1->D2 and the grammar compiler), so that's why it took so 
long.
