Description

Right now, it's fairly obvious where the majority of our memory usage stems from (ahem PHP objects...), and we have some ideas on how to cut down on that when it comes reducing the cost of the token representation, but as we progress, it would be helpful to have something other than raw arithmetic 😉.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying the parser's token representation and any existing profiling or benchmarking setup; done should mean agreeing on a practical memory-profiling approach that can measure parser memory use beyond raw arithmetic.
