Hi,Does anyone use the following parameter to actually REDUCE the conversion 
timeout?

  -Xconversiontimeout t   set NFA conversion timeout (ms) for each decision 

I'm thinking about simply getting rid of this timeout failsafe. It was 
originally necessary before I added a heuristic that prevented us from hitting 
exponential landmines in the grammar. It's a very crude mechanism and I'd like 
to remove.

The only situation I've seen where people use the parameter is when they need 
to INCREASE it. In other words, ANTLR will succeed in creating the prediction 
DFA, but it needs a little more time than the default.

So, please let me know your thoughts on this, particularly if you need to 
reduce the time given to DFA construction. The behavior you would see is that 
reducing the parameter using the same exact parser but antlr finishes faster.

Thanks!
Ter
