Benchmark

# Sample code from
# https://github.com/neologd/mecab-ipadic-neologd/wiki/Regexp.ja#python-written-by-hideaki-t--overlast
import normalize_neologd

%timeit normalize(normalize_neologd.normalize_neologd)
# => 1000 loops, best of 3: 1.18 ms per loop


import neologdn
%timeit normalize(neologdn.normalize)
# => 10000 loops, best of 3: 140 µs per loop

neologdn is about x10 faster than sample code.
