Good points! It doesn't seem like it'd help unless there's a really compute expensive portion. I doubt any parsing would be a limiting factor.

Most people don’t think parsing is the limiting factor—which is why we’re always surprised when we measure and it ends up being the slowest part of the process (not common, but it does happen)

It would be interesting to know what the slowest parts of MathJax are.
