Does anyone have the Usenix paper (80's timeframe I think) about making lex
go fast? It was by Vern Paxson or Van Jacobson IIRC. Maybe only an
abstract was published. The talk ended with a chart showing some CPU
times, and the modified lex was only slightly slower than cat. Maybe Vern
since he contributed to what became flex.
