+This directory contains some very basic cobbled-together performance tests.
+A makefile is provided for generating the executables from the .c files.
+
+
+html5libtest.py
+---------------
+
+  This tests the Python html5lib project, obtained from:
+  	http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/
+
+  This is generally quite a slow parser.  :)
+
+
+libxml2.c
+---------
+
+  This tests the GNOME libxml2 HTML parser, using mmap().  It doesn't do
+  anything with the resulting tree, just generates one.
+
+
+hubbub.c
+--------
+
+  This tests hubbub, using mmap(), and a modified version of the test 
+  treebuilder.  It could certainly be made more efficient (it's based on
+  an old version of the tree construction testrunner) so should not be
+  compared too harshly against the libxml2 results.
