That's amazingly useful information. Thanks!
I'll look into both of these. Perhaps it will turn out that the best solution is to write a Ruby binding for btparse.
I'd definitely recommend that route if you can; it's a pretty good parser. Beware that >8 bit encodings aren't supported, though (and I think there's a Japanese encoding that fails as well). We work around that by converting problematic data to UTF-8 internally.
