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)
# => 1 loop, best of 3: 18.3 s per loop


import neologdn
%timeit normalize(neologdn.normalize)
# => 1 loop, best of 3: 9.05 s per loop

neologdn is about x2 faster than sample code.
