Hi John,

I used criterion to compare pandoc compiled with parsec2 to pandoc compiled with your version of parsec3. (The benchmark is converting testsuite.txt from markdown to HTML.) The difference was minor:
parsec2: mean: 67.66576 ms, lb 67.56722 ms, ub 67.88983 ms, ci 0.950 std dev: 722.3878 us, lb 323.0343 us, ub 1.356013 ms, ci 0.950
parsec3: mean: 68.20847 ms, lb 68.16387 ms, ub 68.26284 ms, ci 0.950 std dev: 252.7773 us, lb 204.5512 us, ub 325.2424 us, ci 0.950
So, once you release the new parsec3, I am prepared to remove the "parsec < 3" restriction from the libraries I maintain: pandoc, highlighting-kate, filestore, gitit, and yst.

Great! Antoine, other tests we should do? Derek, I apologize if you're already following this, but can you give us your opinion? Paulo
