Has anyone experimented with modifying or rewriting the "yaccpar"
file (the main driver of yacc generated parsers) in order to
create a faster parser in the resulting y.tab.c program?

Does anyone have any guidelines on how the structure of the input grammar
will affect the efficiency of the resulting parser (eg, number of
levels of non-terminal, etc.)?
