Re: web-mode.el and speed

I think that a function that would not rely on regexp could improve drastically the performance.

For seconds are needed to load the html5-spec page. And most of the time is spent identifying tags. So any micro optimization can have a huge impact.

(I have previously won 20% in perfomance when I modified the tag attributes parser function to use chars instead of strings. I would have never thought that the gain would be so large)

What's wrong with skip-chars-forward?
