Show HN: Pest – Fast parser generator written in Rust

I'm a bit confused by the benchmark. I looked through the benchmark code and, without really understanding what I'm looking at, the result of the nom parser looks much closer to the "pest (custom AST)" benchmark than the "pest" benchmark. The description above the image, however, primarily compares the "pest" result.

Am I misunderstanding something or is the comparison not fair?

I've added a clarification. The point of the benchmark is not to compete with other projects, it's merely there to put the parsing speed (and not necessarily the processing that comes after it) in a representative window of performance.
