Running 'pandoc --strict' over the Markdown readme.text takes:

~0.09s with pandoc built against parsec-2
~0.19s with pandoc built against parsec-3

on my machine.

I have a branch of parsec-3 which seems to brings us back to parsec-2
numbers, but also fails the rst-reader test-case in the pandoc testing
suite:
