[Bioperl-l] GenBankParser comparison to bioperl parser

[Ewan Birney]

As Jason says we are both aware of the performance problems in the bioperl
parsers, and have some suspicision of where they are. In fact, I am not
100% sure if my speed fixes went into the main trunk or the branch.


I will make parser speed (both genbank and embl) a 1.2 release issue and
file a bug for it.


I suspect we can come to within 2 fold speed loss vs a more genbank data
model in teh objects.
