Many, many bright people have dashed their foreheads
against the
problem.
Andreas Jonsson thinks he's largely cracked it:

- and even that required custom patches to ANTLR. The result runs in C
and is of comparable speed to PHP.
I suspect it was Steve Bennett's attack run I was remembering.
Did anyone ever pull statistics about exactly how many instances of that
Last Five Percent there really were, as I suspect I suggested at the time?
Cheers,
