    Yes, it is a parsing and analysis program.

We are failing to communicate.

My question was: what takes the time?
Is it LOADING and STARTING the analysis program?
Or is it the OPERATION of analyzing your source?

This question might be significant, since we could make
the program store the results of its analysis.
