My guess is that it will help performance. 5 was a serious step down
(due to the porting of C to Perl) and I believe that was a bit of focus
for complaints. So it would seem like an optimistic guess that
performance was also a bit of focus.
The Texinfo 6.0 release news state: "texi2any: [...] a bit faster".
6.1 notes state:
* texi2any:
. Some Perl modules have been rewritten in C to increase speed.
If Perl extensions can be created, they are used by default;
otherwise the pure Perl implementations are still used.
Disable at build time with "configure --disable-perl-xs". The
environment variable TEXINFO_XS controls how they are used by
texi2any.
Let's hope that the right modules have been rewritten and that the
architecture of texi2any is well-suited to exploiting the gains.
