I'm in the middle of my parental leave, and this was a project that came out of me looking for the fastest/smallest CSV parser. It all started so innocently, and then turned into a benchmark-validation-athon; the library itself took ~2 weeks to write, but the performance comparisons took another ~4 weeks (on and off).
