Description

Research direction

Start with the performance graph at the linked perf.rust-lang.org URL and compare the wg-grammar doc full bench's size:doc_bytes history with the other benches. Trace the source of the persistent few-byte variation and confirm whether it is measurement noise or a reproducible benchmark issue. Done means the cause is established and the noise is removed or clearly accounted for.
