Oh absolutely. My issue with the benchmark is just that it claims
to be a JSON parser benchmark but the bulk of CPU time is
actually spent parsing floats. I'm on my phone though so perhaps
this is a different benchmark--I can't easily check. The one I
recall came up a year or so ago and was discussed on D.general.
