This is because we compile automata down to code, whereas ocamlyacc compiles
them down to tables. Ideally, we should provide an option to compile down to
tables instead of code, but we never found time to do so.

We did not perform any serious measurements, but we believe that we are
competitive. If you run a comparison, we would be interested in knowing
about the results.
