What is the expected performance overhead of using nom_locate? #89

Description

@jcornaz

Hi,

I wrote a parser using nom which was capable of parsing ~100 Mb/s of beancount syntax on my machine.

After introducing nom_locate by changing all input types from &str to LocatedSpan<&str> (you can look at the diff),
the parser performance has been halved, parsing only ~50 Mb/s of beancount syntax on the same machine.

It is no biggie. I was of course expecting a performance cost (as there is more work being done), and the performance is still largely acceptable (and still faster than pest). But, I was nevertheless surprised by the magnitude of the performance hit. I did not expect nom_locate to take half of the parsing time.

So, I am just asking, is what I observe expected? Have you observed a similar performance hit in your usages of nom_locate? Could it be that I am misusing nom_locate?

Again, this is not an issue. But as the "discussions" are disabled, I don't know how else to open a discussion on the subject.
