Ask HN: Do you need a faster UglifyJS?

As proof of concept I've "translated" UglifyJS's parser to LiteScript and now it runs 2.5 times faster. I'm not a heavy user of Uglify. Are you?. Should I continue and translate the compressor.js?. Do you need a faster UglifyJS?

This question is going to give you skewed results because only the people who do need it would bother to reply. Personally, no, I have no use for it.

Yes, I know, if nobody responds, I'll assume there's no need for it

I, for one, welcome our LiteScriptified UglyJS overlords.
