I think it might be a good idea if we removed the textile parsing - especially if it is really causing such a performance hit.
@Vassil: Could you remove the textile parser from the code and replace it with the old parsing functionality. If I remember correctly, there are multiple places in the code base were it is present. The best would be to comment out the Textile code so that we remember were it was in the code base. If you do this today, I could do a deployment on Stax tomorrow so that it could be tested by the whole community. D.
