Last time I looked at redparse I couldn't even get the tests to run. Only through lots of hacking did I get it executing and that was just to see how fast it was. Caleb found a _horrible_ ruby package that both redparse and ruby_parser choke on (think: it'll finish right around the time of heat death of the universe... and will probably contribute greatly to it). Otherwise, it didn't seem to be faster or better in any area (esp given how much work it was to get it to work at all).

Things may have changed since then.
