Comment(by mstone):

 Our 30-minute run time seems to be overwhelmingly dominated by a time
 spent in our JSON parser. Unfortunately, most other JSON parsers,
 including simplejson and python-cjson, are optimized with C extensions. We
 would like to avoid C extensions in order to reduce the risk of buffer
 overflows, which adds slightly to the cost of using one of these other
 parsers.

 Hence: how much developer time are we willing to spend to get a 20-minute
 run time, a 15-minute run time, or a 10-minute run time?
