I'll give that a try soon.
And I see from my old mails, I tried b20 with the --disable-kkcc and
--disable-mc-alloc. Still slow, but somewhat better. Things got
better when I disabled error-checking, but still quite a bit slower.
b20 isn't very different from b19. before you go to the trouble of
downloading it, could you repost the profiling info from b20? if it's
spending a lot of time in byte-char conversion, that should be
immediately obvious.
