1. Test Suite: Is there anything more than John Grubers test suite
that you know off? Maybe a good, large file for benchmarking? I'd
like to compare pegdowns performance to some other implementations.
I could also run the original test suite a few times in a row for
benchmarking but maybe there is another more accepted benchmark
available somewhere?
Not aware of one but I wrote the TextMate manual in Markdown and it is
available here: http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Manual/pages/en/
So this is a real-world example of Markdown use. I convert both each
page individually and all of them for the printable version¹.
Example:
% svn co http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Manual/pages/en/
% cd en
% for f in *.mdown; do { cat "$f"; echo; } >> printable.mdown; done
% time for f in *.mdown; do Markdown.pl < "$f" > /dev/null; done
real 0m4.503s
This is on a 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon (and using Markdown 1.0.1).
75% of the time is spent on printable.mdown.
I btw have some references I normally append to the input, but these
are not in the public repos. If you want to use the pages for a real
benchmark suite and want the references, let me know.
¹ I actually concat the HTML versions, but for a benchmark it would be
good with also a large file, and this one isn’t exactly contrived.
