gollark: Based on my extremely unscientific benchmarks, markdown-it would be about twice as fast, but it's not really as customizable, doesn't produce a parse tree I can use for stuff, and produces HTML directly, which is not ideal.
gollark: I disabled an extension for *tab counting* which was apparently insanely inefficient and got a 150ms saving, though.
gollark: Mayhapß™ I should just use a background thread thing (browsers can totally™ do that) for markdown handling.
