Profiling/ab 1.3 vs. 1.2.5

These results show the effect of a slow parser present in early pre-release versions of 1.3. After seeing these results, we reverted most of the text processing code back to the 1.2 style.

1.2.5

ab -n 100 -c 2 http://12.wikidev.net:8000/Main_Page
Requests per second:    0.84 [#/sec] (mean)

1.3

with 'standard' skin

ab -n 100 -c2 http://wikidev.net:8000/Benchmark
Requests per second:    0.44 [#/sec] (mean)

1.3

with monobook

ab -n 100 -c2 http://wikidev.net:8000/Benchmark
Requests per second:    0.43 [#/sec] (mean)

1.3

with monobook and doQuotes instead of doTokenizedParser (the current live code here on meta)
