[cffi-devel] Performance of CFFI:PARSE-TYPE

Hi, I have recently switched to using the cffi+lotsastuff version and I find it very slow for certain applications. The reason for this is that PARSE-TYPE is called from FOREIGN-TYPE-SIZE, and PARSE-TYPE is very expensive. It would be relatively easy to cache the type parsing results in a hash table, but before moving forward in that direction, I'd like to know what your opinions on this is. Thanks, Hans
