Chris, Actuarius looks like an excellent piece of hard work! Thanks a lot for making it available.
I'm looking forward to taking a look at your test and benchmark code. (Of course I will have to tune pegdown to become the fastest of the three implementations... ;) Thanks again! (Also for your rather balanced comparisons, very nice!)
